Evaluating the Impact of a Daylight-Simulating Luminaire on Mood, Agitation, Rest-Activity Patterns, and Social Well-Being Parameters in a Care Home for People With Dementia: Cohort Study
Dynamic lighting has the potential to support well-being in dementia, with seemingly stronger influence in earlier weeks where the dynamic lighting initially follows the static lighting contrast, before proceeding to aggregate as marginal gains over time. Future longitudinal studies are recommended to assess the additional impact that varying daylight availability throughout the year may have on the measured parameters.
