An optically stimulating module to be integrated into a probe is implantable into a living being with a view to locally illuminating a region of said living being. The module includes a casing, and a hermetic electronic unit housed in the casing. The hermetic electronic unit includes two luminous diodes connected back-to-back, and at least two electrical contacts for connecting the module to an electrical power source.

An infant treatment device includes a light source and a blanket. When the treatment device is configured to warm an infant, a laser diode is used to provide warming light. The warming light passes along an optic cable having a plurality of optic fibers each having a fiber ending. The fiber endings are spaced along is diffuser. The diffuser is designed to spread the warming light to create multiple heating zones. A control circuit is used to control the operation of the laser diode. The treatment device is designed such that the light source and blanket can be separated and connected when desired such that the light source can be used with more than one blanket. In another embodiment, the light source can include a diode design for use in phototherapy treatment.

The present application is directed to devices, assemblies, systems and methods for targeting one or more sites with electromagnetic radiation. The devices, assemblies and systems are operationally configured to transform and convey electromagnetic radiation to one or more targeted sites. The devices, assemblies and systems may also convey one or more fluids or fluid solutions to the one or more targeted sites.

An implantable phototherapy device includes a power receiver element configured to receive power from an external power transmitter, a light delivery element powered by the power receiver, and configured to deliver phototherapy to a target treatment area, and a tether element is coupled to the light delivery element and the power receiver element. The tether element is configured to deliver power between the power receiver element and the light delivery element.

A photobiomodulation device may include a housing configured to be inserted into an external auditory meatus of a human ear, at least a one irradiation source coupled to the housing such that at least a portion of a radiation emitting surface thereof faces at least a portion of dermis of the external auditory meatus of the ear beneath which at least one of an arterial branch and a peripheral nerve branch of at least one cranial nerve is located, and an electrical circuit carried by the housing and configured to control the at least one radiation source to irradiate the at least one of the arterial branch and the peripheral nerve branch of the at least one cranial nerve through the at least a portion of dermis of the external auditory meatus of the ear.

A light irradiation device having an elongated shape is inserted into a catheter. The light irradiation device includes a light irradiation portion provided on a distal end side of a light irradiation device for outputting irradiation light to outside, and a large diameter portion positioned distal to the light irradiation portion and having an outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of the light irradiation portion.

Disclosed herein is a capsule type photodynamic therapy apparatus. The apparatus has an anchor packaged with a silicone dome to anchor the apparatus to target tissue in a body by an endoscope, and includes a battery to communicate with an external device via human body communication in the silicone dome, and is repeatedly operated several times under the control of the external device to irradiate the target tissue with a therapeutic light source and thereby repeatedly treat the target tissue several times.

A light therapy device for stimulating the human brain includes a seat for supporting the body of a user. The device further includes a light array having individual light emitting devices positioned above the seat. The device further includes a controller for controlling the light array and generating instructions for the individual light emitting devices to produce light. The seat maintains the body of the user in a zero gravity position. The light array is located at a position above the seat to allow the light array to illuminate the face of the user.

The present invention discloses a therapeutic face mask having a plurality of light emitting diodes. The therapeutic face mask substantially accommodates a user's face. Light of a particular color and intensity is projected on to the facial region of the user for facial therapy. The light emitting diodes (LEDs) are covered by a sheet of transparent silicone material to avoid direct contact of LEDs with the user's facial skin. The therapeutic face mask has a communication module in order to control the intensity, frequency, and color of the light emitting diodes when used by the user.

A method of administering light treatment to a biological surface comprising administering light therapy from one or more light sources and administering distraction stimulus from one or more distraction mechanisms. The distraction stimulus is configured to distract a user from a discomfort caused by the light therapy.
