Optical biopsy applicators for treatment planning, monitoring, and image-guided therapy
An in vivo optical biopsy applicator of the vaginal wall for treatment planning, monitoring, and imaging guided therapy is described herein. The applicator may include an imaging probe operatively coupled to a laser ablation device. The applicator allows for non-invasive optical tissue monitoring in order to define pre- and post menopausal parameters, pre- and post-treatment microscopic changes, and offers an objective scientific tool in order to compare currently available medical, non-medicated, and energy-based treatment protocols.
Generating cold plasma away from skin, and associated systems and methods
A cold plasma system and method for treating a region of a biological surface is presented. In one embodiment, the system includes: a housing; an air conduit within the housing; a first electrode configured proximately along the air conduit; a second electrode configured proximately along the air conduit and opposite from the first electrode; and a source of alternating current (AC) electrically connected with the first electrode. The source of alternating current is configured to generate cold plasma in the air conduit.
Light irradiation device for synthesis of functional substance in a human body
A light irradiation device includes a first light source emitting first light in a visible wavelength band and a second light source emitting second light, in which at least part of a wavelength band is different from a wavelength band of the first light source and which catalyzes synthesis of a functional substance in a target to which light is applied. The second light includes light in a wavelength band of ultraviolet B.
Hands-free skin treatment system
A system is provided for treating a skin surface of a user, comprising: at least one light emitting source configured to focus light on a specified skin region of the user, the light being configured to treat a skin condition of the user; and a controller configured to control emission of the light onto the specified skin region of the user.
UV-C sanitizing phone case and mobile phone
A UV-C emitting phone case is provided that includes a main body defining a receiving cavity and a perimeter configured to receive and hold a mobile phone, surround a perimeter and a back portion of the phone. The phone case includes at least one UV-C light emitting diode (LED) positioned in the main body of the phone case and exposed on a back side of the phone case. It further includes a window for exposing the UV-C LED and optionally having a color metric to indicate if the light is being emitted, a power source built into the phone case and connected to the UV-C LED; an on/off switch coupled to the power source configured to activate and deactivate the UV-C LED; and an optional distance sensor to indicate a distance from a target surface to the UV-C LED.
DEVICE FOR TRANSFERRING HEAT AND INFRARED ENERGY, WITH DYNAMIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND UNIFORM HEAT DISTRIBUTION
The present invention refers to a device to transfer heat and infrared energy with dynamic temperature control and homogeneous heat distribution that places one or more applicator modules on an affected area, later with a control module you can resort to a predefined therapy according to the affected area and some personal data of the patient, or to a therapy provided by the therapist, or even to set a temperature at which the device will heat up; the invention also refers to the manufacturing process of said device. The user can define the time interval that the therapy will last. Alternatively, the user may use a mobile application to control, monitor and personalize therapies, which he or his therapist may define from the mobile application or from a web application, where said pair of applications will be connected to a web API for data synchronization.
BODY IRRADIATING DEVICE
The invention relates to a body irradiating device, in particular for irradiating a body of a person or a part of a body of a person, in particular with cosmetically and hygienically useful radiation, comprising a radiation source with a base and at least one first LED chip which can emit a first radiation spectrum with a first radiation peak and at least one second LED chip which can emit a second radiation spectrum with a second radiation peak differing from the first radiation peak. A body irradiating device allowing the radiation spectrum of more than one LED chip to be combined and uniformly supplied to the human body is achieved in that the first LED chip and the second LED chip are arranged below a common lens in an LED package and can be controlled separately.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING EFFECTIVENESS OF A SKIN TREATMENT
A method for evaluating the effectiveness of a skin treatment on a skin feature includes correcting the color of a first image before the skin treatment, correcting the color of a second image after the skin treatment, determining the sizes of the skin feature in the first and second images, and comparing the corrected colors and sizes of the skin feature in the first and second images. In some embodiments, the first and second images include the skin feature and an indicator adjacent to the skin feature, where the indicator has a standard color and a known size.
Apparatus and methods for phototherapy
There is provided a phototherapy apparatus, in which the therapeutic light is delivered through one or more massage components. The massage component provides mechanical massage to the subject biological tissue and modifies the properties of the subject tissue in thickness, density, etc. to facilitate the absorption of the therapeutic light and enhance the effect of the phototherapy procedure. The light source of the phototherapy apparatus is actively cooled by a synthetic jet cooler.
