Light pollution reduction techniques for medical environments

A system comprising one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform a method for reducing light pollution in a medical environment comprising:

• determining that lighting in the medical environment is to be adjusted for use during a medical procedure, the lighting in the medical environment comprising light emitted by a medical light for illumination of a subject for observation during the medical procedure;
• identifying a device in the medical environment that is communicatively connected to the system, the device including an indicator light source associated with the light pollution, the indicator light source configured to indicate a functionality of the device;
• determining that a setting of the indicator light source associated with the light pollution is to be adjusted to a predefined setting associated with reducing the light pollution during the medical procedure;
• and
• causing the setting of the indicator light source associated with the light pollution to be adjusted to the predefined setting.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a system, cause the system to perform a method for reducing light pollution in a medical environment comprising:

• determining that lighting of the medical environment is to be adjusted for use during a medical procedure, the lighting in the medical environment comprising light emitted by a medical light for illumination of a subject for observation during the medical procedure;
• identifying a device in the medical environment that is communicatively connected to the system, the device including an indicator light source associated with the light pollution, the indicator light source configured to indicate a functionality of the device;
• determining that a setting of the indicator light source associated with the light pollution is to be adjusted to a predefined setting associated with reducing the light pollution during the medical procedure;
• and
• causing the setting of the indicator light source associated with the light pollution to be adjusted to the predefined setting.
