A phototherapy monitoring device (10) includes a housing (12) configured for attachment to a patient, and a user interfacing device. An optical bilimbin sensor (14) includes one or more light sources (16) operative to generate probe light and arranged on or in the housing such that the probe light is reflected from or transmitted through skin of the patient when the housing is attached to the patient; and one or more photodetectors (18) arranged on or in the housing to detect the probe light reflected from or transmitted through the skin of the patient. At least one electronic processor (28) is disposed on or in the housing and programmed to: continuously generate a current bilimbin level measurement from the detected probe light reflected from or transmitted through the skin of the patient; and control the user interfacing device to generate a notification when the current bilirubin level measurement satisfies a safe bilimbin level.

The invention relates to a method for the stimulation, in particular laser acupuncture, of a test person (1) in a specified body region (10), wherein—a number of reference stimulation points (RS.sub.1, RS.sub.2, RS.sub.3) are specified with respect to a reference (R), in particular a three-dimensional reference, of the body region (10) to be stimulated, —an image (A), in particular a three-dimensional image, of the surface of the test person's (1) body region (10) to be stimulated is captured, points (P.sub.1, P.sub.2, P.sub.3) are specified and/or ascertained in the captured image (A), the relative position of said points in the image (A) corresponding to the relative position of the reference stimulation points (RS.sub.1, RS.sub.2, RS.sub.3) on the reference (R), —the stimulation points (S.sub.1, S.sub.2, S.sub.3) to be stimulated corresponding to the points (P.sub.1, P.sub.2, P.sub.3) in the image are ascertained on the surface of the body region (10), —at least one stimulation unit (4) is automatically aligned with at least one of the ascertained stimulation points (S.sub.1, S.sub.2, S.sub.3) to be stimulated of the body region (10), and—the at least one stimulation point (S.sub.1, S.sub.2, S.sub.3) to be stimulated is stimulated by means of the stimulation unit (4).

A phototherapy device for modulating an optical dosage delivered to targeted tissues extraorally based on measured tissue properties, such that the targeted tissues receive a particular dose of optical power.

A cosmetic method of treating skin tissue with a source of treatment light includes providing a source of treatment light along an optical axis; providing one or more sources of illumination light along the optical axis; providing one or more sensors along the optical axis; providing a programmable controller, the programmable controller controlling the activation of the source of illumination light and the source of treatment light. The method includes the steps of: the controller activating the one or more sources of illumination light and directing it to the skin tissue, the one or more sensors measuring the light reflected from the skin tissue and transmitting information sensed of measured light to the programmable controller; the programmable controller processing the measured light received from the output of the one or more sensors and providing a treatment light regimen; the programmable controller activating the source of treatment light according to the treatment regimen to the skin tissue; and, treating the skin tissue.

A veterinary incubator is disclosed, that features a modular hygienic design ceramic infrared based veterinary incubator that fully disassembles for disinfection. The invention heats a puppy more deeply and can be tailored to the specific condition of the puppy, allowing for better processing of colostrum and food—leading to a better weight gain, a stronger immune system and eyes opening sooner that competitive products with puppies from the same litter. The invention can be fully disassembled with 100% user replaceable modular components to allow for more effective disinfecting and elimination of service calls. The invention created a microenvironment that compliments a small animal's ability to seek our warmer and cooler parts of their environment to regulate body temperature and can be adjusted to allow for only good choices based upon the small animal's condition.

A circadian entrainment enhancement device includes a housing, a first directional light source, a second directional light source, and a driver. During daytime, the driver turns on the first directional light source with a high melanopic ratio to enhance the daytime circadian entrainment of a user. During nighttime, the driver turns on the second directional light source with a low melanopic ratio to enhance the nighttime circadian entrainment of a user. A more advanced version of the present disclosure uses a light sensor, a memory module, and a computation module to calculate the necessary light output of the device by factoring the ambient light level into consideration. An even more advanced version of the present disclosure uses a distance sensor to adjust the light level of the light sources according to the distance between the device and the user.

A Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) treatment system providing seasonally appropriate and aesthetically appealing light therapy in a novel, convenient and medically effective manner. At present, patient compliance has proven to be a significant barrier to the effective treatment of this disorder. Studies have shown that up to 70% of patients report diminished compliance with the therapeutic recommendations using currently available forms of light therapy, in the form of “light boxes”. These patients sited the predominant factor in their failure to comply as shortcomings with the light boxes themselves, finding them “inconvenient” to set up and sit close to for therapeutic periods, or simply too aesthetically “displeasing” to keep in the home or workplace. As a result, as many as 20% of SAD patients who begin light box therapy stop their proscribed SAD lightbox therapy treatment prematurely and entirely. The present invention presents a novel and practical improvement over current therapeutic light-emitting devices by delivering the medically recommended SAD light therapy requirements through more effective, convenient, seasonally appropriate and aesthetically appealing embodiment. By diminishing barriers to patient compliance, this SAD light therapy embodiment facilitates more consistent- and thus more effective-light therapy treatment of SAD, resulting in better therapeutic outcomes for a greater number of those who suffer the debilitating symptoms of this seasonal disorder.

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and uses of systems for treating a skin condition with phototherapy. A system comprises (a) a phototherapy device comprising a phototherapy light source; (b) a patient computing device comprising a processor and a memory, the patient computing device configured to: transmit a first signal to the phototherapy device enabling operation of the phototherapy device according to one or more conditional prescription parameters, activate the phototherapy light source, and transmit a second signal reporting operation of the phototherapy device; and (c) a server configured to communicate with the patient computing device and receive the second signal.

Light therapy systems described herein are configured to by worn by or otherwise affixed to the user so that the user is ambulatory while receiving light therapy. In some implementations, one or more physiological sensors are used such that delivery of the light therapy is effected by physiological parameters of the user detected by the physiological sensors. Moreover, in some implementations the apparatuses described herein also deliver compression therapy in addition to the light therapy.
