RPI ID: 2014-062-401

Innovation Summary:
This invention presents a therapeutic smart lighting system that dynamically adjusts light based on biometric feedback. Sensors monitor physiological signals such as brain activity, pupil response, or skin temperature, allowing the lighting system to respond in real time. By modulating light intensity, spectrum, and timing, the system influences emotional and cognitive states, improving comfort and well-being. It is especially suited for workspaces, healthcare facilities, and academic environments where lighting has measurable effects on productivity and mood.

Challenges / Opportunities:
Traditional lighting systems do not adapt to human biological rhythms, leading to fatigue, stress, and reduced performance. While static lighting design can address some of these issues, true optimization requires dynamic, sensor-informed control. This system introduces intelligent adaptation based on biometrics, aligning artificial lighting with circadian and cognitive needs. It opens opportunities in personalized healthcare, behavioral therapy, and high-performance environments.

Key Benefits / Advantages:
✔ Real-time biologically-informed lighting
✔ Enhances comfort, focus, and cognition
✔ Integrates biometric sensors and spatial controls

Applications:
• Human-centric lighting
• Clinical and therapeutic settings
• Smart workspaces and educational environments
