Aged Care & Healthcare

Residents and Patients

In aged care and healthcare environments, maintaining healthy circadian rhythms is essential for improving sleep, mood, cognitive function and overall well-being. Residents and patients often spend long hours indoors with limited access to natural light, which can disrupt body clocks, increase agitation, and slow recovery. MelaGen® lighting addresses these challenges by delivering blue-enriched light during the day and blue-depleted light in the evening, helping to regulate the 24-hour cycle and support healthier outcomes.

For residents in aged care, MelaGen® can assist with the realignment of circadian rhythms thus improving the subsequent night’s sleep.  Additionally, blue enriched light, by improving mood and cognition can reduce the potential for accidents. A 2022 study on 758 aged care residents showed a significant reduction in falls, by applying circadian lighting.  In hospitals, it contributes to faster recovery, supports patients through long stays, and eases the transition back home by maintaining natural rhythms. Benefits extend to specialised areas such as dementia care, neonatal care and recovery wards where light plays a crucial role in comfort and healing.
