Systems and methods for monitoring light emissions of electronic devices
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring light emissions in electronic devices. The disclosed techniques herein provide for determining a display duration of display devices for a user. Light emission profiles for each of the display devices are determined. A cumulative emissions exposure is determined that is based on the light emission profiles for the display devices and the display duration of the display devices for the user. A determination is made whether the cumulative emissions exposure exceeds a light emission exposure limit set for the user. In a positive determination, an instruction is transmitted to the display devices for execution of a remedial action based on predefined rules.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
in response to detecting the user's inputs on the first electronic device and the second electronic device:
determining the user has not switched to the electronic device with the lesser light emission profile; and
shutting down the first electronic device and the second electronic device for a predefined time period.
