Abstract

We present an approach using room lighting for strengthening individual daily structure or changing structure of daily routines if required. This new healing environment concept includes a monitoring system based on standard passive infrared presence sensors as well as a zonal and ambient room lighting system using direct and indirect lighting with variable light intensities and light colors.
