To enhance the practical aspect and bridge the gap between academic study and applied reality, third-year students in the Biomedical Engineering Department, under the direct supervision of Assistant Lecturer Hiba Dhiaa Abdul-Amir, conducted a field study and scientific survey on the topic: Evaluation of Medical Lighting Quality Lighting in healthcare environments (operating rooms, intensive care units, and examination rooms) is a vital factor that goes beyond mere visibility; it is a precise engineering tool that directly impacts the success of medical procedures and patient safety. The field and research activity focused on the following areas: • Illuminance measurement: to ensure complete clarity during surgical procedures. • Color Rendering Index (CRI): to enable physicians to distinguish tissues with high accuracy. • Color temperature and light distribution: to reduce eye strain for medical staff and provide a comfortable environment for patients. • Glare and shadow control: to ensure there are no visual obstructions during diagnosis or surgery. The aim of the activity: This activity seeks to train students on how to evaluate engineering systems within hospitals, and analyze the efficiency of devices and auxiliary equipment, in order to contribute to raising the quality of healthcare and supporting accurate medical performance.
