  • Patent number: 10086211
    Abstract: A phototherapy apparatus with interactive user interface for treating biological tissue of an animal or human target. The user interface comprises intuitive graphic menus which allow the clinicians or practitioners to define the properties of the biological tissue through easily observable physical characteristics such as weight, skin color, and hair color of the patient. The central control unit of the phototherapy apparatus then automatically optimizes the parameters of the light source according to the properties of the biological tissue and generates an appropriate treatment protocol to produce the optimum phototherapy result.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170304646
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9504847
    Abstract: An improved method for performing phototherapy. The method comprises a step of applying a supplement to the patient before/after light treatment, which produces nitric oxide in the subject biological tissue to be treated. The nitric oxide serves as signaling molecules to cause vasodilatation and increase blood flow and micro-circulation in the biological tissue so as to enhance the effect and reduce the required treatment time of phototherapy.

  • Publication number: 20160279436
    Abstract: A phototherapy apparatus with precise dosage control is disclosed. The phototherapy apparatus incorporates means for tracking any combination of the following: position, direction of motion, velocity, or acceleration of the therapeutic light beam over the treatment area. The delivered light dosage is calculated based on these parameters and the intensity of the laser beam.
