ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR OUTPUTTING LIGHT SIGNALS AT A MEDICAL-TECHNICAL INSTALLATION

摘要

The principle of biofeedback is used to incorporate a patient into a control loop for relaxation by light signals. For this purpose, a sensor measures physiological parameters of the patient. By virtue of the fact that the respective physiological parameter controls a lighting parameter such as light color or light intensity of a lighting unit using the signal processing of a microprocessor in a control loop, the patient acquires visual biofeedback with respect to his/her physiological parameter. Endogenous regulation processes of the patient are thus made accessible to his/her consciousness. The outputting of the light signals is continued until the patient is prepared for the required examination and there is no need for a further administration of medicaments for calming. The work results of the medical-technical installation may be kept optimal as a result of the relaxation of the patient even without administration of medicaments.

主权项

1. An arrangement for outputting light signals at a medical-technical installation, the arrangement comprising:
a lighting unit having a lighting parameter that is controllable; a sensor configured to measure a physiological parameter of a patient and to generate a signal depending on the physiological parameter; a microprocessor configured to evaluate the signal and to control the lighting parameter of the lighting unit depending on the signal; and a medical-technical installation configured for an examination or treatment of the patient with a different device than the lighting unit and the sensor.
