Wearable light logger to facilitate full spectrum light dosing for mood disorders
Create a wearable device that tracks light exposure, intended as a research tool for studying and treating mood disorders.
Project Overview
There are no affordable wearable light logging devices on the market currently. Full spectrum light therapy has been proven to be successful in treating mood disorders, especially seasonal affective disorder, but patient response studies are lacking. A wearable allows for accurate representation of light intensities which reach the retina, the presumed site of action. A wearable light logger would provide convenient research into what correct dosages for optimal patient response look like for patients suffering from mood disorders.
