Solutions for Hospitals

Transform your hospital into a comfortable and high-quality space

Being in a hospital is a tough time for any patient, separated from the comfort of their charming home while dealing with illness and pain. Meanwhile, healthcare workers have night shifts that affect their rest.

Light quality is very important for the comfort of people in healthcare environments, but also for their sleep. KUMUX Human-Centric Lighting solution can upgrade their rest and fasten patients’ recovery, by simulating the sunlight characteristics indoors, while adapting to the needs of a variety of spaces at the hospital.

The suitable light for recovery and patient care

Lighting should find a balance between the most comfortable conditions for patients to rest and the visual acuity of nurses, doctors, or cleaning services to work in the same spaces.

In addition, when people in healthcare facilities are not exposed to natural light, patients' and workers’ internal clocks are unbalanced. A suitable artificial light throughout the day is needed to help patients heal faster and workers develop more quality care.

Roommates in shared rooms
Roommates in shared rooms
38% of patients experience difficulties falling asleep and 61% of patients feel more sleepy than usual. Warm light with low brightness should be used at night so that the patient’s sleep is not perturbed when their roommate needs to go to the toilet.
Nurse's work
Nurse's work
While the patient is sleeping, the nurse needs to enter the room to change their medication. A very warm light would help the patient rest if it is dimmed low, though providing the required vision for the nurse’s work at the same time.
ICU patients
ICU patients
Patients typically sleep as little as 6 hours a day and often outside of the nighttime hours. They are under the effects of analgesia and sedation which influence their time perception. Changeless light throughout the day and night increases their sleep disturbances and delays their recovery.
Workers' night shifts
Workers' night shifts
A hospital is a 24-hour service, so healthcare staff usually have rotating or overnight shifts. This kind of work is associated with sleep disorders and also increases the risk of developing other chronic health problems, such as breast cancer.

KUMUX Lighting for hospitals

KUMUX circadian lighting solution transforms the artificial light, by adjusting the light brightness and color temperature (cooler or warmer white light) automatically all day long to mimic sunlight at the same time that fulfills the lighting requirements of each type of space in a healthcare environment: patient rooms, corridors, toilets, cafeterias, waiting halls, ICU…

Benefits of light on people in hospitals

Best sleep time
Best sleep time
Circadian lighting makes the patients’ internal clock keep track of the daytime. Their circadian rhythms are balanced and they can sleep better at night and feel more rested during the day, promoting their recovery.
Less medication needed
Less medication needed
Studies conducted in hospitals claim that being exposed to natural light reduces the administration of painkillers by 22%.
Reduced admission time
Reduced admission time
Human-centric lighting, through sunlight properties and dynamism, can reduce the length of stay up to 30% in patients with heart disease, or up to 15% in patients with depressive illnesses.

Lighting functions

Control lighting in a space with KUMUX is very simple: user only turns on/off the lights. KUMUX changes the lighting settings automatically throughout the day when they are on.

Only special scenes could be needed in each space for certain tasks at a specific time, such as critical patient attention or night tasks without disturbing the patient in rooms.
