1. ) A method for application of one or more therapies to at least one body region where:
- a) a plurality of body regions within a body zone are measured by one or more sensor elements;
b) the body region sensor data is analyzed by one or more comparators; and
c) at least one therapy may be applied to a body region based upon comparator analysis of body region sensor data.

Abstract
The present invention relates to devices for the sensing of one or more body regions within a larger body zone, and the application of a therapy, preferably photonic therapy, based upon one or more sensor measurements derived from at least one body region. Such applied photonic therapies may be accomplished in an effectively simultaneous fashion while being adjusted independently to each body region. In addition, successive applications of photonic therapy(s) to one or more body regions may be further adjusted based upon one or more successive sensor measurements of the corresponding body regions.

14. ) A device for the application of one or more therapies to individual body regions of a body zone consisting of:
-
a) a structure having one or more measurement sensors enabling the measurement of two or more body regions within said body zone for one or more parameters related to the status of said body regions; b) a comparator capable of receiving and analyzing said measured data; and c) a therapy delivery structure, where said comparator evaluates body region parameter data from at least one measurement sensor and enables a delivery of at least one therapy to at least one body region using the therapy delivery structure upon said determination of need for said therapy. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25)
