The present application is directed to systems, devices, and methods for diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases and disorders through photobiomodulation therapy, either alone or in combination with one or more other therapies. More particularly, the present invention provides photon source devices configured to deliver light to a portion of an organism, which causes a physiological response within that light exposed organism. The invention also provides a system which includes one or more photon source devices and functionality for diagnosing or assessing a disease or disorder, and for monitoring responsiveness of the disease or disorder to treatment with the therapeutic light. Additionally, this application is directed to utilizing the present systems and devices in combination with known adjunctive therapies including devices, services, drugs, biologics, genetics and supplements to produce synergistic optimal therapeutic outcomes.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating skin by means of intense pulsed light (IPL). Such apparatus may be used for the treatment of, for example, cosmetic purposes such as hair depilation or dermatological treatment of skin conditions such as acne or rosacea. The present invention provides an improved apparatus that can be used by a non-medical practitioner and comprises a light source comprising a light emitting element for transmitting light energy to the skin and a charge storage device for discharging an energy dose to the light emitting element. There is further provided at least one sensor for measuring a parameter of the skin and a control system configured to determine the treatment energy dose to be delivered. This treatment energy dose is de-rived using the sensor measurement and means of reduction in unwanted time delay associated with charging or discharging of the charge storage device in sole dependence on the current or most recently measured skin parameter.

A radiant energy bandage assembly is disclosed. According to an exemplary embodiment, the radiant energy bandage assembly comprises an encased flexible PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) including a plurality of radiant lamps and a plurality of apertures aligned with the plurality of radiant lamps. A control pod docking interface operatively connected to the flexible PCBA provides an interface to operatively connect a user control pod to control a dosage of radiant energy to a user treatment area.

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.

An ingestible capsule arranged, in use, to cross a human stomach for carrying out a phototherapeutic treatment arranged to combat an infection due to the presence of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, the ingestible capsule comprising at least one primary light source arranged to emit an electromagnetic phototherapeutic wave having a wavelength λ.sub.1, at least one auxiliary light source arranged to emit an electromagnetic phototherapeutic wave having a wavelength λ.sub.2, a wrapper arranged to contain the or each primary light source and the or each auxiliary light source, the wrapper being at least partially transparent to the wavelengths λ.sub.1, and λ.sub.2, a control unit arranged to selectively activate the or each primary light source and/or the or each auxiliary light source.

Systems and methods for counter-phased binocular stimulation may include a device that determines a target frequency of a stimulation response. The device may output a first visual stimulation at a first frequency and a first phase to a first eye. The device may output a second visual stimulation at a second frequency and a second phase to a second eye. The first visual stimulation and the second visual stimulation may together produce the stimulation response at the target frequency.

A method for laser assisted delivery of therapeutic agents includes selectively controlling a valve connected to a first channel disposed within a first sidewall of a nozzle, applying, through the first channel, a first substance to penetrate dermis to a predetermined depth, and administering, through a second channel unconnected with the valve and disposed within a second sidewall of the nozzle, a second substance to remove debris.

The current invention concerns a single-use patch for appliance on a skin of a subject, comprising at least two and preferably three hollow sheaths suitable for temporarily housing a fiber optic, wherein said sheaths comprise two open ends, wherein said sheaths are positioned to form a therapeutic surface within said patch by providing a fixed end of the fiber optic ends; wherein said patch is preferably combined with a topical cover layer and an adhesive supporting layer suitable to be attached to the skin of a subject.

Provided is a laser patch, and the laser patch includes: a patch body having a through hole for laser transmission; a circuit substrate disposed in the patch body; a built-in battery disposed, facing the circuit substrate, in the patch body; a laser diode element electrically connected to the circuit substrate and emitting a low-output laser beam to the outside of the patch body by using its own power coming from the built-in battery; and a charging terminal provided in the patch body for selectively supplying electricity to the built-in battery from an external charger.
