The light sources can be either internal, or external to the transparent flexible mouthpiece housing, and either lasers, light emitting diodes (LEDs), lamps, or any other types of light sources which produce therapeutic light in a desired wavelength range. The therapeutic light is delivered through the transparent flexible mouthpiece housing to the oral mucosa. The delivered light produces a photochemical and photophysical process e.g. increase the blood flow and circulation. This photochemical and photophysical process helps to reduce the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in cancer patients and helps improve outcomes of cancer therapy.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to develop and use a tool to enable an application package to be instrumented with automatic real user monitoring (RUM) without accessing the original source code. A package, such as Android application bundle (AAB) or Android package kit (APK), is imported and decoded and a generated source code file and/or manifest is obtained. Instrumentation is then added at a location corresponding to a code signature in the generated source code file (e.g., an operation to be instrumented before and/or after the operation). The generated source code file is then compiled and packaged into an APK and/or AAB file. The resulting application package is available for downloading, installation, and use on user devices with the instrumentation having been automatically added and without access to the original source code.
