Patent number: 11031127Abstract: The invention suggests a system for monitoring the exposure of a patient (1) to at least one environmental factor. The system particularly comprises a database (8) storing an environmental prescription for the patient, the environmental prescription specifying a maximum level of the environmental factor and a minimum duration for the level of the environmental factor to be smaller than the maximum level, and an evaluation module (7) configured to detect on the basis of a measurement signal and the stored environmental prescription a time interval in which a level of the environmental factor is below the maximum level and to compare the duration of the detected time interval with the minimum duration. On the basis of the result of this comparison, healthcare staff can plan activities in such a way that the patient is provided with a rest period substantially having the minimum duration.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Katja Leuschner, Mun Hum Park, Andre Melon Barroso, Frank Mueller

Patent number: 10064255Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting system (100) and a method for controlling lighting conditions in a room (R). The lighting system (100) comprises a controller (101) for controlling internal light sources (121, 122) and at least one actuator (131, 141) for changing the amount of external light entering the room (R). Moreover, at least one sensor (111,112, 31,141) is provided for detecting a parameter relating to the actual or to a desired lighting level of the room (R). Thus it is possible to control the lighting of the room (R) according to a predetermined schedule, particularly with a circadian rhythm that can reduce delirium in a patient (P). The actuator may for example comprise means (141) for closing or opening curtains (142) in front of a window (W).Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2013Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Andre Melon Barroso, Thomas Falck
