Devices and methods for light therapy wherein a device for delivery of light therapy comprising a light emitting pad member (e.g., a blanket or other body cover) is positionable over all, substantially all or at least half of a subject's body and operable to deliver light therapy thereto.

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.

The present specification discloses a photobiomodulation therapy garment having a garment structure configured to be donned by a user atop a skin surface with one or more near-infrared light sources integrated with the garment structure. The near-infrared light source is configured to emit near-infrared light directed to one or more regions of interest of the skin at a wavelength between 600 nm to 1600 nm and at a predetermined dosimetry and duration. A controller with a processor and memory is in communication near-infrared light source to control the operational parameters of the near-infrared light source.

A skin treatment device, typically but not exclusively an IPL device, has a housing, a light source for discharging light energy pulses, a control system for controlling discharge of the light source and a housing output window in the housing for transmission of light energy pulses emitted by the light source to external of the housing onto a skin treatment area. One or more sensors are disposed in the housing adjacent to the output window to provide sensing zones. The control system is arranged to receive one or more sensor outputs and based on these outputs control operation of the device. A head is releasably engaged with the housing and has a shield portion and a head window portion where in an engaged configuration the shield portion partially shields the output window to reduce the skin treatment area and leave one or more of the sensing zones exposed.

One embodiment is directed to a system for altering the function of a sensory unit that innervates a targeted tissue region in an animal, the sensory unit being configured to express a light-responsive protein, comprising a light delivery element configured to direct radiation to at least a portion of a targeted tissue structure; and a light source configured to provide light to the light delivery element; wherein the targeted tissue structure is illuminated transcutaneously with radiation such that a membrane potential of cells comprising the targeted tissue structure is modulated at least in part due to exposure of the light-responsive protein to the radiation.

The present invention is directed to compositions and methods targeting cells in a subject harboring conditions or at risk for conditions that would benefit from gas-based diagnostic and therapy. The present invention relates to the use of fluorochemical compositions and methods of delivery that result in retention of the fluorochemical composition and any bioactive agent, including gaseous substances, delivered in combination with the fluorochemical composition.

The present invention relates to a device (1) for stimulating the biosynthesis of vitamin D3. The device comprises at least one first light source for emitting light radiation comprising wavelengths in a range of 280 nm to 315 nm. It further comprises a sensor unit for detecting an irradiation area, and a directing unit for aligning the at least one light source with the irradiation area. The device also comprises a control unit, which is designed to identify the irradiation area and to trigger an emission of light radiation comprising wavelengths in a range of 280 nm to 315 nm by the at least one light source.

The present invention further comprises a computer program product for controlling such a device.

An LED infrared irradiator includes an upper plate, a lower plate having a space for the user to lie down, a PC board disposed on the upper surface of the lower plate and having a size that can accommodate the entire body of the user, a handle part, a head part, a cover part, an oxygen generator, and a control unit attached to the upper side of the upper plate, wherein the power source of the lower plate consists of a chamber power source unit, a lower plate LED power source unit and a far-infrared heating element, and the power source of the upper plate consists of a upper plate LED power source, a upper plate UVC LED power source.

A system for treating an eye includes a light source configured to provide photoactivating light that photoactivates a cross-linking agent applied to a cornea. The system includes one or more optical elements configured to receive the photoactivating light and produce a beam that defines a spot of the photoactivating light. The system includes a scanning system configured to receive the beam of the photoactivating light and to scan the spot of the photoactivating light along a first axis and a second axis to form a scan pattern on the cornea to generate cross-linking activity.

An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a flexible wrap and a plurality of lights arranged on the wrap. The wrap is configured to wrap around a body of a user such that the lights face selected areas of the body. The apparatus is configured to cause the lights to emit light at a first predetermined wavelength to the selected areas of the body that is sufficient to perforate one or more fat cells at the selected areas of the body to drain the content within the one or more fat cells when power is supplied to the lights. The apparatus is configured to cause the lights to emit light at a second predetermined wavelength to the selected areas of the body at the same time as the lights emit light at the first predetermined wavelength when power is supplied to the lights.
