Wearable Device for Measurement of Exposure to Artificial Lighting

Abstract

Studies show that a large number of people in the EU have disorders caused by artificial light or conditions that can be aggravated by light. Therefore, this research proposes the creation of a portable device (EXPILART device or EDEV) that can be used to measure exposure to artificial lighting and can communicate wireless with a cloud app. This paper presents an initial prototype of EDEV which is based on high performance system on a chip including a microcontroller and wireless module and light and other sensors. The proposed methodology reduces the complexity of EDEV, while allowing precise results to be obtained. EDEV will have a high level of integration and high autonomy by using miniaturized and low power components.
