Method and system for improving lighting control and method and system for controlling a lighting device

A method for controlling a lighting device, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a lighting device having a starting sequence in a facility and setting a predefined range of the lighting device;
• placing a wearable sensor and wireless transmitter on a person in the facility;
• detecting the location of the person within the facility;
• detecting a physical state of the person using the wearable sensor when the person is located within the predefined range of the lighting device, the physical state of the person comprising at least one of the person's pulse and blood pressure, and wirelessly transmitting the detected physical state;
• at numerous specific times, recording said detected physical state in a data collection system;
• at the same specific times, recording the starting sequence from said lighting device in the data collection system;
• assigning the physical state and the starting sequence that are recorded at the same specific times to one another when the person is determined to be located within the predefined range of the lighting device and storing the physical state and starting sequence in the data collection system;
• creating an optimized lighting sequence from the assigned physical state and starting sequence in the data collection system.
