The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and uses of systems 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. Also disclosed are systems, methods and compositions for controlling phototherapy treatments of the skin comprising (a) incorporating sun exposure into a prescribed phototherapy treatment; (b) quantitative measurement of erythema using digital image processing; (c) computer aided guidance for administration of targeted phototherapy; (d) treatment recommendations from outcome based analytics of a population of connected phototherapy devices; (e) an emollient with UV fading dye to visibly identify treated areas in the administration of targeted phototherapy.

A wearable device that selectively reflects biophotons emitted naturally from the user's body back into the body, achieving beneficial health effects similar to low-level laser therapy without requiring an external laser device. Illustrative wavelengths that may be reflected may include 550 nm, 630 nm, 632 nm, 660 nm, 694 nm, 810 nm, and 980 nm. Radiation of wavelength 810 nm in particular has been shown to affect mitochondrial energy production. The device may be worn for example as a bracelet or pendant. Internal components may include one or more filters to select the desired wavelengths, and a parabolic mirror to reflect these selected wavelengths back into the body. Some embodiments may also include a polarizer so that reflected waves are polarized.

A product for use in treating a subject, incorporating a light-conversion medium which receives ambient light of broad spectrum, and emits light at one or more peak wavelengths or ranges of wavelengths (λ1, λ2, λ3) having greater intensity than corresponding intensity in the received broad spectrum ambient light. The products outlined are specifically designed for skin treatments of many different kinds, where the wavelengths chosen to have therapeutic or enhancing effects to the biological processes that occur inside or that directly affect the skin. The products can either exist as a unique treatment or be coupled with existing treatments in order to achieve an improved or differentiating result.

Disclosed are systems and methods for influencing the mood of a person using a synthetic window. The system includes storing one or more excitement scenes and one or more calming scenes, where the excitement scenes when displayed on the display produce an excitatory environment and the calming scenes when displayed on the display produce a calming environment. The system also includes receiving input as to a type of mood of the person, selecting an excitement scene or a calming scene in response to the mood type received, and displaying the selected scene on the display.

A wearable fabric for photo-stimulating a biological system includes at least one piece of textile, a plurality of bioceramic particles, and at least one nutrient-based precursor. The at least one piece of textile includes a plurality of interwoven polymeric fibers, an outer textile surface, and an inner textile surface. The outer textile surface and the inner textile surface are positioned opposite to each other about the at least one piece of textile. The quantity of bioceramic particles is uniformly integrated amongst the plurality of interwoven polymeric fibers. The at least one nutrient-based precursor is integrated amongst the plurality of interwoven polymeric fibers as the at least one nutrient-based precursor is configured to frictionally dislodge from the plurality of interwoven polymeric fibers as the inner textile surface is in physical contact with a wearer's skin to stimulate the production of Vitamin D and to stimulate bone growth.

In an exemplary embodiment, a phototherapy device capable of delivering natural sunlight to a subject is provided. The phototherapy device includes an incubator configured to hold a subject for treatment, a support for supporting the incubator, and an enclosure made from a flexible, transparent material connected to the incubator to create a space therein. The enclosure formed around the incubator allows visible sunlight to enter the enclosure in any direction for treating the subject while partially filtering ultraviolet (UV) and infrared radiation (IR) rays of the visible sunlight. The enclosure includes a first part made from a first material and a second part made from a second material different than the first material.

The invention relates to garment assembly for the transmission of the external light radiations or light waves to the skin underneath the garment assembly, more particularly it relates to a garment assembly comprising at least a light wave guiding means with preferably one or more light wave collecting means and preferably one or more light wave diffusing means, for collecting light waves from the external side of the garment assembly and transferring it to the skin covered by the garment assembly or by another garment. Said garment assembly may be composed by a first part, facing an external side of the garment assembly and a second part, facing an internal side of the garment assembly, which are permanently or detachably optically coupled to each other through said wave guiding means.

Antimicrobial films for generating singlet oxygen and their use is described. The antimicrobial films are generally thin films having two surfaces or faces. The first surface of the film is adhesive. Various adhesives, including, electrostatic charges, are possible. The second surface faces in a direction opposite from the first surface. The second surface of the film emits singlet oxygen when activated by light or ultrasound. Various photosensitizers can be incorporated onto the second surface of the films for generating the singlet oxygen. The singlet oxygen and other radical species generated from the antimicrobial films diffuses out from and in proximity to the films to form a layer or cloud of singlet oxygen at a concentration sufficient to inactivate microbial particles, e.g., viruses and other pathogens, that come within the singlet oxygen layer to provide a protective zone against microbial particles.

The present disclosure provides cosmetic compositions and methods for using the cosmetic compositions. In particular, the cosmetic compositions of the present disclosure include one or more chromophore(s) in association with a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The cosmetic biophotonic compositions and the methods of the present disclosure are useful for skin rejuvenation and/or skin conditioning.
