    The design of
    our lighting

    helps to improve patients’ sense of well-being and trust during examinations. It makes the medical environment seem less intimidating, which in turn makes the patients feel calmer and more relaxed."

     

    - Dr Christa Hutterer, DiVoCare

     The Philips AmbiCare lighting system at DivoCare, Germany can be adjusted to suit one's personal lighting preferences

    Customer challenge


    As one of the most advanced radiology and healthcare centres in Europe, DiVoCare is moving patient care forward. After observing that patients often get nervous before exams, consultant radiologists Dr Christa Hutterer and Dr Richard Westhaus sought a way to provide extra comfort.

     

    The right lighting


    Philips AmbiCare lighting is providing welcome relief in the hospital. This unique system was installed in the examination rooms, helping to create a reassuring environment and give patients something to focus on during examinations. The system utilises iColor Cove, Savio and Fugato lights, which provide flexible, dynamic ambience with a range of hues.

    Research shows that color and light significantly affects how people feel, and this is something that that pioneers like DiVoCare are beginning to take advantage of. The Philips AmbiCare system is unique because it can be controlled by the patient, so they can create an ambience which suits their personal preferences. By introducing feelings of individual control, DiVoCare reassures the patient, which means fewer examinations have to be repeated. Finally, the combination of room design and flexible light enhances the modern image of the practice.

    "If patients are given the chance to express their individuality, this makes them feel they have some control over their environment. This feeling of control helps them feel more relaxed."
