What if the lighting in hospital rooms, and even the color of sheets and gowns, could be designed to aid the recognition of symptoms?
Scientists at the Human Factory made a major discovery in 2006 that human color vision evolved, and is near-optimal, for sensing blood under the skin, so as to see emotions and other states on the bare skin of others. This underlies our ability to sense veins and health states. (See especially chapter 1 of our book, VISION rEVOLUTION.)
We at the Human Factor invented and patented one of a kind technology for enhancing perception of the blood under the skin, and thereby enhancing perception of veins and health states. The technology is sold at VINO OPTICS, and around this technology there are a suite of applications for enhancing illumination in hospital rooms, including the lighting, the protective eyewear worn, the paint used, the color of the sheets and gowns, and even colored adhesives on the skin that aid detection of state change. See one of our Human Factory papers on this.
