Description

Optimal circadian timing: Wearable light device and customised technology. Maintaining circadian rhythms is vital for optimal sleep, alertness, safety, and performance but circadian misalignment is very common. This project aims to address the key impairments associated with circadian misalignment by advancing the tailored delivery of bright light administration. The project will deliver a novel Australian-industry-pioneered wearable device and accompanying technology to provide automated, interactive, customised, best-evidence based light therapy to retime the body-clock. This combination of a wearable device and customised technology does not yet exist in Australia or globally. The project benefits include excelerating existing knowledge and application of lighting strategies for effective circadian retiming.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships.
