Methods and apparatuses for providing therapy, including light therapy, to a user positioned within an enclosure are described herein. A method includes generating and selecting therapy settings based on user information and positioning the user within an enclosure having a plurality of light sources. The enclosure is configured to focus light on the user at a location within the enclosure according to selected settings. Post-therapy user information is provided to generate a report regarding the user and may include the user's measured physical attributes, measured spectrum values, reported information, or survey information. Aromatherapy, audio therapy, or air therapy may be additionally provided. An apparatus includes an enclosure with a control system configured to perform a therapy method. An enclosure may be have the shape of an octagon or another shape. A computer readable non-transitory storage media includes instructions for providing therapy to a user positioned within the enclosure.

The present invention relates to a skin radiation apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a photon radiation unit for generating a line-shaped radiation pattern that extends in a first direction; a movement facility for moving the line shaped radiation pattern in a second direction transverse to the first direction; a detection unit for detecting a skin condition profile; and a control unit for controlling the line-shaped radiation pattern, dependent on the detected skin condition profile.

A personal therapy compartment includes a base of size to receive a human patient. The compartment includes a bed in the base said bed being made of a light transmissive material. An array of lights mounted is below the bed to transmit light onto a body supported on the bed. A control panel controls at least the wavelength, intensity and pulsation of the light.

A portable, personal therapy chamber for provision of radiation therapy. The therapy chamber includes a pair of telescopically positionable units that are lightweight and easily portable by a single user. The therapy chamber is configured for use by a single person lying generally prone on a surface. The units are formed from a plurality of pivotably coupled panels that are foldable in a first direction to a rolled up, tube-like storage configuration and unfoldable in a second direction to an arched formation or use configuration. The units, in the use configuration, are disposed to overlie the user and include a plurality of emitters that direct infrared energy toward the user's body.

An infant warming system can include a platform for supporting an infant, at least two chest electrodes configured to connect to and detect cardiac potentials from a chest of the infant, an ECG monitor configured to receive the cardiac potentials from the at least two chest electrodes, a pulse oximeter device configured to determine an SpO.sub.2 for the infant, and a processor configured to determine one or more activation thresholds for the infant, wherein the one or more activation thresholds represent one or more target saturation levels for the infant. The processor can also compare the heart rate for the infant to a first heart rate threshold and compare the SpO2 for the infant to the one or more target saturation levels, adjust a display on a display device based on the comparisons, and generate a care instruction for a care stage based on the SpO2 of the infant.

Systems and methods for determining one or more temperatures within a phototherapy blanket use or include one or more temperature sensors and a set of light sources to determine a temperature of a subject undergoing phototherapy within the phototherapy blanket and estimate a core temperature of the subject based on, at least, the temperature. The phototherapy blanket may include a thicker region having a higher thermal insulation than one or more other regions of the phototherapy blanket. By virtue of measuring the temperature at or near the thicker region, the uncertainty in the relation between a temperature and the subject's core temperature may be reduced, for more accurate temperature determination within the phototherapy blanket.

Multipurpose lighting systems and methods of providing controllable lighting are provided. A lighting system includes a sheet of flexible material, a plurality of light sources and a controller. The plurality of light sources are attached to the sheet of flexible material and configured to emit diffused light. The controller is coupled to the plurality of light sources and is configured to control one or more of the plurality of light sources according to one of a plurality of prescribed lighting characteristics associated with a respective plurality of different lighting tasks. In some examples, the lighting system includes a camera coupled to the sheet of flexible material configured to capture at least one image of an object synchronously with the light emitted by the plurality of light sources.

Systems and methods for providing phototherapy to an infant use the determined position and/or posture of an infant to provide effective phototherapy through a set of light sources, to avoid electromagnetic radiation from the light sources directly impinging on the eyes of the infant, and to reduce or limit the level of electromagnetic radiation leaked into the environment.
