Too much light. Too intense. Too dim. Too little daylight.
Inadequate or inappropriate lighting conditions can wreak havoc on neurological patients suffering from a wide range of disorders, conditions and injuries – stroke, brain tumors, head trauma, epilepsy, autism, Alzheimer’s and other dementias, migraines and many more.
New lighting technologies and design strategies are producing significant benefits for patients sensitive to light and its intensity, or who experience limited exposure to natural daylight due to physical constraints or stages of recovery.
This webinar will help designers create tailored lighting solutions using cycled white light, dim-to-warm, and tunable lighting technologies, and explore their potential circadian benefits in fostering healing within patient rooms.
Using two different case studies, we’ll identify opportunities for implementing these technologies across various clinical spaces, and examine further technological prospects, such as comprehensive software integration within patient rooms, voice control functionality, intuitive imagery that facilitates multi-lingual comprehension, and even breath-controlled features.
Join us as we shed light on these new technologies, design strategies, lessons learned, client expectations and budget considerations.

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
