Abstract
Light has a dominant non–visual effect on numerous physiological processes. Workers with non-standard schedules often suffer from the disturbance of circadian rhythms that depend on light. In this study, we have developed a methodology for creating an adaptive lighting system that helps maintain the psychophysiological state of employees in norm. The existing methods for adapting lighting were considered. It was concluded that the psychophysiological factor of adaptation is relevant for both employers and employees. Various methods of data collection for the functioning and development of the system were reviewed, including psychological techniques and biomonitoring devices. Based on the analysis, a methodology was developed for creating an adaptive lighting system for doctors with round-the-clock and night work schedules with the prospect of future scalability. This will improve the health of employees, which often deteriorates due to unsatisfactory working conditions. Based on the developed methodology, it is possible to create adaptive lighting systems in different areas that require non-standard schedules and increased accuracy to perform work tasks.
