    The case study discusses Philips implementing various lighting solutions like HealWell, LuxSpace, and iColor at the Philippine Heart Center to enhance the healing environment for patients.

    Philips implemented its HealWell lighting system in the medical ICU as well as LuxSpace and iW Fuse Powercore in patient rooms and public areas. ColorDial PRO and iPlayer controls were also used.

    The HealWell system can simulate natural light rhythms to improve patient and staff well-being. Studies have shown it improves mood, sleep, and the work environment.

    The Challenge
    Background

    Philippines. Incorporated in 1975, it achieved the status of one of the best and upgrading program,

    also had to be upgraded.
    Rico Gonzales, General
    Manager of Philips Lighting
    in the Philippines led the
    team. Dr Manzo
    emphasised that he was
    looking for a lighting solution
    that was sustainable, and
    positively impacting the
    healing environment for
    critically ill patients and the
    work environment for ICU
    staff. And very importantly
    as a public hospital, it was
    imperative that the Philips
    solutions we propose make
    sound financial sense, so we
    had to be mindful of all these
    considerations.

    The Solution
    The Philips team worked closely with the hospital
    management and recommended Philips HealWell
    technology for the medical ICU.
    HealWell is a new lighting solution for patients rooms that
    addresses the human bodys natural responses to light. This
    state of the art technology can simulate natural sunlight indoors,
    allowing patients to maintain their biorhythm and have an
    enhanced sense of comfort and well-being. It features defined
    pre-sets for different dynamic lighting environments and lighting
    levels required, such as ambient lighting and work lighting for
    examinations. Warmer or cooler light can also be programmed to
    go along with a natural rhythm of light, from sunrise to sundown.

    The positive effects of HealWell lighting has been validated


    by studies conducted in the cardiology department at the
    Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands,
    which have shown that HealWell lighting improves the
    mood and quality of sleep for patients, as well as the
    general work environment.
    Dr Manzo was keen to give the new lighting technology a try. He
    said, It is not really new knowledge for us that the body follows
    certain patterns that are not very apparent. We feel that
    replicating this pattern even in the hospital room, for patients who
    are sick, may actually accelerate their healing. We also think that

    and nurses stations.
    The patient rooms were installed with Philips iW Fuse
    Powercore, which are easily managed with ColorDial PRO
    lighting controls. Philips LuxSpace High Efficacy was installed
    in both the main lobby and the nurses station. In addition, the
    lobby was also fitted with Philips iColor Cove MX Powercore
    with lighting controls such as Philips iPlayer 3 and Serial
    Keypad complementing it.

    have also expressed satisfaction with the enhanced and


    natural lighting which greatly improves their working
    environment, said Carmencita A. Lingan, Department
    Manager of Special Areas at the Center.
    It (lighting to complement healing) is something that we are
    trying to embrace with enthusiasm here in the Philippine Heart
    Center. Its very very new for us but we are happy with the initial
    impact of the project that weve implemented in this short period
    of time, said Dr Manzo.
    Philips sustainable lighting solutions also help the Heart Center to fulfil
    its on-going green initiatives and aspirations to continue being a toprated hospital, without undermining the need to ensure that
    investments in technology and facilities are well-made and financially
    sound. The hospital has also indicated that it is proud to have made
    history with its adoption of lighting technology. It is the first and only
    hospital in Asia and only the second in the world, to use the Philips
    HealWell lighting system.

    For the Philips country team, Kathie Tardio, Product Manager for
    Professional Solutions and Controls said, The Philippine Heart
    Center project has also showcased Philips ability to draw on
    expertise from both our regional and global counterparts. This
    really helps us to bring about greater responsiveness to the lighting
    concerns of our customers.
