1 1. Design Factors 3. Future Improvements Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the following people for their guidance and expertise: Jeremy Ackerman, David Cowan, Ellen Yi-Luen Do, Craig Zimring, Marvina Williams, and Marilyn Margolis. This project was funded through Perkins & Will and NCR.

DESIGN: 1.Spot lights:  Located on three different panels: o Panel A: provide lights for the patient’s head and neck region. o Panel B: provide lights for the thorax and abdomen region. o Panel C: provide lights for the legs.  Lights on each panel can be activated independently from other panels. 2.Full-spectrum lights:  Independently controlled the other lighting components 3. Multi-color LED lights:  Remotely controlled by patient  Can change into 7 different colors  3 color changing modes  These lights cannot be turned on when the spot lights are in used and vice versa. This prevents distraction to the working staff, nurses, and doctors.

Allow for specific localized lighting of points of interest.  Utilize Daylight and Full-Spectrum lighting technology to maximize healing capabilities from light source.  Improve ambient lighting with more research into effects of colors on socio-psychological health of patients.  Explore different geometric shapes & alternative materials for construction of system.  Explore different placement of lighting components. - OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON + + + + + + - 120 VAC Spot light A Spot light B Spot light C Full-spectrum light Multi-color LED light Toggle switch between spot lights vs. LED lights Schematic of Electrical Wiring Problem 1.Poor lighting in the emergency treatment room hinders healthcare staff from providing quality care. 2.Lighting system does not provide a healing environment for the patient.  Physician & nurses must be able to acquire working lights in an expedited manner  No complicated & complex lighting system.  Focal lighting must be clear, bright, white lights  No impurities in light properties. This prevents the light from obscuring any important facts during medical physical exams.  Patient must be provided with ambient lighting, and the patient must have control over the environment  Remote controlled ambient lighting system.  There must also be general, diffuse lighting that allows for staff to provide room maintenance  Provide general working lights for staff and technicians.  The integrated lighting system should not be cost prohibitive  Should allow for economically & financially sound investment as well as easy installation.
