LIGHT THERAPY DEVICE THAT TREATS A SUBJECT WITH MULTIPLE WAVELENGTHS OF LIGHT
A light therapy device that treats a subject with multiple wavelengths of light to provide a beneficial therapeutic effect. The device may emit at least three different wavelengths that are selected from specific wavelength combinations that have been found to have synergistic and positive therapy effects. The lights may be incorporated into any type of therapy device, such as a handheld light therapy device, light therapy elements integrated into a hat for treating the scalp or for hair loss, a light therapy bed, a light therapy facial treatment device, and a light therapy sauna.
SINGLE-PATIENT TEXTILE DEVICE FOR PHOTOTHERAPY TREATMENT AND UNIT COMPRISING SUCH A SINGLE-PATIENT TEXTILE DEVICE
A single-patient textile device for providing phototherapy treatment to a patient. The device includes a back wall intended to accommodate the patient in a supine position, the back wall having an upper portion and a lower portion; a front wall attached to the lower portion of the back wall; and two lateral walls which are arranged on either side of the back wall and can be folded onto the back wall. Once folded, the front wall and lateral walls form a volume to house the patient, including an opening to enable the passing of the patient's head through the upper portion of the back wall. The front wall can be folded toward the back wall such that the front wall and the back wall each have an inner surface that can distribute the treatment light within the volume.
Skin Tanning and Light Therapy Incorporating Light Emitting Diodes
The invention relates to a skin tanning chamber, the improvement comprising at least one light emitting diode emitting a UVA light, such as a UVA LED that emits essentially only UVA. Additionally, multiple LEDs of varying types with various characteristic wavelengths are controlled independently to produce an arbitrary light pattern in an arbitrary sequence over time. The chamber can be rigid or flexible. It can be a bed, booth or incorporated into a flexible form, such as a garment or cloth. In one embodiment, the chamber further comprises at least one LED emitting a UVC light, whereby the UVC light sanitizes the chamber surface. Preferably the LED emitting the UVA light is under independent control from the LED emitting UVC light.
CANCER CELL GROWTH INHIBITION AND KILLING DEVICE USING BLUE LIGHT LED
Provided is a cancer cell growth inhibition and killing device using a blue light LED. The present invention comprises: a bed part which has a top plate on which the body is laid to stand by; a main body part provided with a treatment space, which has a predetermined size and on which the bed part is disposed, and having a chamber which is divided by the treatment space and a transparent plate formed of a light-transmitting material to thus form a treatment light generation space; and a treatment light generation unit which generates a treatment light having a wavelength band of a predetermined size when power is applied so that the treatment light can penetrate the subcutaneous tissue of the body and thereby stimulate and kill cancer cells moving along blood vessels, and which is provided in the chamber so as to irradiate the treatment space with the treatment light after the treatment light has penetrated though the transparent plate.
Phototherapy system that adapts to the position of an infant in neonatal care
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.
Phototherapy apparatuses and methods
A phototherapy treatment apparatus and methods are provided. In particular, the present disclosure provides a phototherapy treatment apparatus configured to diffusely transmit light emitted from a light source to a patient.

LIGHT THERAPY BED WITH ILLUMINATED MESH SUPPORT STRUCTURE
Apparatus and method for applying photobiomodulation (PBM) light illumination therapy to a patient. A light therapy bed has a PBM mesh structure supported by a rigid frame to form a patient support surface adapted to contactingly support the patient. The mesh structure has respective illuminating and non-illuminating strands which interconnect to form a conformable, open hammock-type support structure with an array of mesh apertures extending therethrough. The illuminating strands have light sources such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) which emit electromagnetic radiation at one or more selected frequencies. A control circuit activates the light sources in accordance with a selected modulation profile. In further embodiments, an upper PBM mesh structure can be lowered to concurrently irradiate the patient. The open mesh areas can constitute 50% or more of the overall areal extent of the mesh to provide patient cooling and application of additional light from a supplemental source.
LIGHT THERAPY LOUNGER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a light therapy lounger. The light therapy lounger includes a frame including a peripheral wall and an inward protrusion extending internally from an inner surface of the peripheral wall. Further, the light therapy lounger includes a plurality of irradiation boards located on the inward protrusion and including a plurality of irradiation sources. Also, the light therapy lounger includes an upper cover made up of a diaphanous material, the upper cover configured to be located above the plurality of irradiation boards. Each irradiation board includes one or more pressure sensors and several irradiation sources electrically coupled to a first Printed Circuit Board (PCB), a heat sink thermally coupled to the first PCB and located under the first PCB, and a plurality of cooling fans electrically coupled to the first PCB and/or a second PCB, and located under the heat sink.
