Systems, methods, and devices for delivering treatment to a skin surface
First Claim
1. A skin-treatment delivery device, comprising:
- a hand-held housing includingone or more treatment agent reservoirs, each of the one or more treatment agent reservoirs including at least one port with a controllable valve, each of the one or more treatment agent reservoirs configured to store and controllably release one or more treatment agents;
at least one conduit in fluid communication with the at least one port with the controllable valve and an opening defined by a surface of the hand-held housing;
a data storage component;
a personalized microbe profile stored in the data storage component, the personalized microbe profile including a feature map of a skin surface of an individual overlaid with a two-dimensional spatial distribution of one or more types of microbes at each of one or more locations on the skin surface of the individual;
a location-capture component including circuitry to measure a feature of a location on the skin surface of the individual; and
a computing component including a processor, the computing component operably coupled to the controllable valve of each of the one or more treatment agent reservoirs, the data storage component, and the location-capture component, the computing component including circuitry toreceive information associated with the measured feature of the location on the skin surface of the individual from the location-capture component;
map the received information associated with the measured feature of the location on the skin surface of the individual to the feature map associated with the personalized microbe profile to determine which of the one or more types of microbes of the personalized microbe profile is associated with said location;
select at least one of the one or more treatment agents stored in the one or more treatment reservoirs for application to said location on the skin surface of the individual based on which of the one or more types of microbes is associated with said location; and
actuate the controllable valve of at least one of the one or more treatment agent reservoirs to modulate release of the selected at least one of the one or more treatment agents onto said location on the skin surface of the individual.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are described for delivering treatment to a skin surface of an individual based on a microbe profile, which include a skin-treatment delivery device including at least one treatment agent reservoir with at least one port with a controllable valve, at least one conduit, a location-capture component, a data storage component to store information associated with the microbe profile, and a computing component including a processor and circuitry to receive information associated with a measured feature of a location on the skin surface, correlate the received information associated with the measured feature of the location on the skin surface with the stored information associated with the microbe profile, select one or more treatment agents for application to the location on the skin surface from a database of treatment agents, and actuate the controllable valve of the at least one treatment agent reservoir to modulate release of the selected one or more treatment agents.
