PRESCRIPTION DEVICE CONTROLLER
First Claim
1. A phototherapy device configured to control ultraviolet phototherapy exposure to a patient to a desired exposure prescribed by a physician, comprising:
- an ultraviolet light source;
a phototherapy computer configured to activate the ultraviolet light source; and
a biometric scanner for scanning at least one biometric parameter of the patient,wherein the ultraviolet light source, the phototherapy computer and the biometric scanner are electrically coupled, wherein the physician prescribes at least one phototherapy setting, wherein the physician provides at least a proper passcode to the patient, and wherein the at least a proper passcode being input into the phototherapy computer by the patient and a positive result from the biometric scanner are required for the phototherapy computer to activate the ultraviolet light source according to the at least one phototherapy setting.

Abstract
A device for controlling ultraviolet phototherapy exposure to a patient is provided. The phototherapy device has an ultraviolet light source, a biometric scanner and a phototherapy computer coupled together. A prescribing physician can prescribe at least one phototherapy setting for the patient which can be transmitted to the remote phototherapy computer. In order to activate the ultraviolet light source according to the phototherapy setting, the patient can be required to input into the phototherapy computer a patient passcode, and the patient must undergo a biometric scan from the biometric scanner to verify the correct patient is receiving treatment.
