Abstract

A system and method for remote delivery of a therapeutic treatment using a low-level light therapy (“LLLT”) device permits a user at a remote location to select and purchase a therapeutic session on a remote computer. The remote computer then transmits a request for the therapeutic session to a server at a treatment center, which then selects the corresponding treatment program and sends the program to the remote computer. The remote computer then transmits the treatment program to the LLLT device for executing the treatment program in order to deliver a therapeutic treatment to a user. The treatment program is then deleted from the LLLT device to preserve the security of the treatment program and discourage theft or misuse of the LLLT device.

Claims

1. system for remote delivery of a therapeutic treatment comprising:

a remote computer at a remote location with a graphical user interface for a user to request a therapeutic treatment;

a network for transmitting the treatment request from the remote computer to a treatment center;

a server at the treatment center for receiving the treatment request and transmitting a treatment program corresponding to the selected treatment to the remote computer over the network; and

a therapeutic device at the remote location for receiving the treatment program from the remote computer and executing the treatment program to deliver a therapeutic treatment to the user.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the therapeutic device is a low-level light treatment (“

LLLT”

) device.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the network is the Internet.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the graphical user interface is a website hosted at the server and accessed by the remote location over the Internet.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the user must purchase the selected treatment before the server transmits the treatment program to the remote computer.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the server processes the purchase.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the treatment program is deleted from the therapeutic device upon completion of executing the treatment program at the LLLT device.

8. A method for remote delivery of a therapeutic treatment comprising the steps of:

receiving a request for a therapeutic treatment at a remote computer in a remote location;

transmitting the request from the remote computer over a network to a treatment center;

receiving the request at a server in the treatment center;

transmitting a treatment program from the server to the remote computer, wherein the treatment program corresponds to the treatment request;

delivering the treatment program from the remote computer to a therapeutic device at the remote location; and

executing the treatment program to deliver a therapeutic treatment to the user.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising selecting a low-level light treatment (“

LLLT”

) device as the therapeutic device.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising transmitting the request from the remote computer to the treatment center over the Internet.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising creating a website hosted at the server as the graphical user interface that is accessed by the remote location over the Internet.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising requiring a user to purchase a treatment before transmitting the request from the remote computer to the server.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising processing the purchase at the server.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising deleting the treatment program from the therapeutic device upon completion of executing the treatment program at the LLLT device.

15. A computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium for remote delivery of a therapeutic treatment, comprising computer code for:

receiving a request for a therapeutic treatment at a remote computer in a remote location;

transmitting the request from the remote computer over a network to a treatment center;

receiving the request at a server in the treatment center;

transmitting a treatment program from the server to the remote computer, wherein the treatment program corresponds to the treatment request;

delivering the treatment program from the remote computer to a therapeutic device at the remote location; and

executing the treatment program to deliver a therapeutic treatment to the user.

16. The computer program product of claim 15, further comprising computer code for selecting a low-level light treatment (“

LLLT”

) device as the therapeutic device.

17. The computer program product of claim 16, further comprising computer code for transmitting the request from the remote computer to the treatment center over the Internet.

18. The computer program product of claim 17, further comprising computer code for requiring a user to purchase a treatment before transmitting the request from the remote computer to the server.

19. The computer program product of claim 18, further comprising computer code for processing the purchase at the server.

20. The computer program product of claim 19, further comprising computer code for deleting the treatment program from the therapeutic device upon completion of executing the treatment program at the LLLT device.
