Abstract

Disclosed are therapeutic lamp platform mobile device applications. According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, provided is a phototherapy device comprising a wearable therapeutic lamp platform including a plurality of radiant lamps disposed to communicate radiant energy to a user treatment area; a power source; a controller operatively associated with the therapeutic lamp platform and the power source configured to limit a number of available doses of radiant energy provided to a user, and the controller configured to communicate with an ecommerce platform to obtain an additional number of available doses.

Claims

1. A phototherapy device comprising:

a wearable therapeutic lamp platform including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at two or more wavelengths and a reflective inner wall including an external inner reflective surface directed towards a user treatment area, the reflective inner wall including a plurality of radiant energy communication areas aligned with the plurality of radiant lamps and extending through the inner reflective surface to communicate the radiant energy to the user treatment area associated with a user, and wherein the reflective wall is further formed to reflect radiant energy reflected from the user treatment area back to the user treatment area;

a power source operatively associated with the lamp platform;

a frame for supporting the platform on the user and positioning the therapeutic lamp platform to space the reflective inner wall from the user treatment area at a distance spaced from a nose of the user; and

a controller operatively associated with the therapeutic lamp platform and the power source, the controller configured to limit a number of available doses of radiant energy provided by the therapeutic lamp platform to the user, and the controller configured to communicate with an ecommerce platform to purchase an additional number of available doses of radiant energy and authorize the controller to provide the purchased additional number of available doses of radiant energy.

2. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the ecommerce platform includes a mobile communication device.

3. The phototherapy device according to claim 2, wherein the mobile communication device includes one of an iOS and Android based operating system.

4. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the wearable therapeutic lamp platform is a mask.

5. The phototherapy device according to claim 4, wherein the mask includes a concave parabolic bias and a malleable rigidity.

6. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the radiant energy communication areas include a plurality of apertures disposed on the reflective wall.

7. The phototherapy device according to claim 6, wherein the plurality of apertures include a plurality of through-holes disposed on the reflective surface.

8. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, further comprising an outer wall spaced from the reflective wall, wherein the radiant lamps are interposed between the outer wall and the reflective wall.

9. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the wavelengths include at least two of red, blue and infrared.

10. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the reflective wall has a parabolic bias for the dispersing of the radiant energy across the user treatment area of the user.

11. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the frame includes an eyeglass frame.

12. A phototherapy device comprising:

a wearable therapeutic lamp platform including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at two or more wavelengths and a reflective inner wall with including an external inner reflective surface directed towards a user treatment area, the reflective inner wall including a plurality of radiant energy communication areas aligned with the plurality of radiant lamps and disposed to communicate the radiant energy to the user treatment area, and wherein the inner reflective wall includes one or more areas to prevent radiant energy transmission through the reflective wall from the radiant lamps and a plurality of other areas corresponding to the plurality of radiant energy communication areas which allow transmission of the radiant energy through the inner reflective wall from the radiant lamps and wherein the inner reflective wall is further formed to disperse over the user treatment area radiant energy reflected from the user treatment area back to the user treatment area;

a power source operatively associated with the lamp platform;

a frame for supporting the platform on the user and positioning the therapeutic lamp platform to space the reflective inner wall from the user treatment area at a distance spaced from a nose of the user; and

a controller operatively associated with the therapeutic lamp platform and the power source, the controller configured to limit a number of available doses of radiant energy provided by the therapeutic lamp platform to the user, and the controller configured to communicate with an ecommerce platform to purchase an additional number of available doses of radiant energy and authorize the controller to provide the purchased additional number of available doses of radiant energy.

13. The phototherapy device according to claim 12, wherein the ecommerce platform includes a mobile communication device.

14. The phototherapy device according to claim 13, wherein the mobile communication device includes one of an iOS and Android based operating system.

15. The phototherapy device according to claim 12, wherein the wearable therapeutic lamp platform is a mask.

16. The phototherapy device according to claim 15, wherein the mask includes a concave parabolic bias and a malleable rigidity.

17. The phototherapy device according to claim 12, wherein the reflective wall includes a transparent wall including one or more treated areas to prevent radiant energy transmission through the transparent wall from the radiant lamps and a plurality of other nontreated areas corresponding to the plurality of radiant energy communication areas which allow transmission of the radiant energy through the reflective wall.

18. The phototherapy device according to claim 12, wherein the reflective wall includes a wall including one or more nontreated areas to prevent radiant energy transmission through the transparent wall from the radiant lamps and a plurality of other treated areas corresponding to the plurality of radiant energy communication areas which allow transmission of the radiant energy through the reflective wall.

19. The phototherapy device according to claim 12, wherein a masking process is used to provide the plurality of radiant energy communication areas aligned with the radiant lamps and disposed to communicate the radiant energy to a user treatment area.
