Poor lighting in emergency rooms can hinder the delivery of quality patient care, increasing stress and discomfort. Our solution combines full-spectrum, spot, and multi-color LED lights, providing both diffuse and focused lighting for various clinical procedures. This approach enhances visual acuity for bedside care and creates a more calming environment for patients. Future improvements include integrating RFID technology for automatic adjustments in light intensity, ultimately fostering better health outcomes by reducing anxiety and improving overall well-being in emergency settings.
