Scientists at Chromaviso in Denmark are artificially recreating the changing patterns of natural light, from the blue glow of a morning sunrise, to the bright intensity of midday sun, and finally ending with a warm evening hue. 

These changes in light throughout the day support our circadian rhythm, which affects every cell in our body.

 

 

Emma Keeling catches up with the team to find out how their technology has been applied in care homes, where it's having a dramatic impact on the residents' wellbeing and mental health. She also finds out how the technology has been faring at Copenhagen's hospitals.
