Patent number: 10086211Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: BWT Property, Inc.Inventors: Brian Pryor, Sean Xiaolu Wang

Patent number: 9504847Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2010Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: BWT Property, Inc.Inventors: Brian Pryor, Sean Xiaolu Wang
