Problem

Modern lifestyles, characterized by increased indoor time and reliance on artificial lighting, disrupt natural circadian rhythms. This disruption negatively impacts alertness, mental health, and sleep quality, contributing to widespread health and wellbeing issues.

Solution

LYS provides a technology platform focused on optimizing human health through light exposure. The company offers solutions that enable individuals to track and manage their light environment to align with their biological rhythms. By bridging the gap between light science and personal health, LYS aims to enhance alertness, improve mental health, and promote better sleep quality. Their approach leverages data-driven insights and personalized light recommendations to support healthier living.

Target Audience

The primary target audience includes academic researchers studying sleep, light, and chronobiology, as well as individuals seeking to improve their personal health and wellbeing through optimized light exposure. Additionally, care homes and private homeowners are targeted for circadian lighting solutions.

Features

Wearable LYS Button for continuous tracking of light exposure (RGB, Kelvin, Lux, mEDI) and movement via an accelerometer.
LYS Light Diet app for participants to monitor their light intake, chronotype, and perceived sleep/energy levels.
LYS Data Platform for researchers to aggregate, access, and download raw light and participant data remotely.
LYS Collect app for centralized data collection from multiple LYS Buttons on a single device, suitable for studies without participant smartphones.
Circadian lighting solutions (LYS Connect) that adjust light intensity and color temperature based on user-specific data (age, gender, chronotype, health condition).
Retrofittable lighting hardware designed for easy installation without rewiring.
Lighting specifications include a wide Kelvin range (2,700–6,500K), high Color Rendering Index (>90), low flicker, and long lifespan (up to 70,000 hours).
Integration capabilities with electronic health record systems are implied through data platform functionality.
