Smart Ambient Bright Light in Nursing Homes: Impact on Individual Light Exposure and Dementia‐related Symptoms
The findings suggest that the SABL helps optimize light exposure and that improved exposure can mitigate certain neurobehavioral symptoms in residents with dementia. Future research should evaluate the broader implementation of SABL and its long-term effect on a larger scale to inform best practices in environmental design and dementia care in nursing homes.
