HealWell is an innovative lighting solution that is designed to help improve patients’s health and well-being in hospitals. Research has shown that the more time patients spend in daylight, or artificial light that mimics natural light, the better their biological response to healing and therapy is. As a result of this research, HealWell uses a networked control system, as well as shades of warm and cool light, to support patients biorythms throughout the day. HealWell has shown to improve patients comfort, mood, sleep and overall well-being and in turn speeds up their recovery in a more positive healing environment.
