1. A method of affecting a physiological rhythm comprising the steps of:
- receiving an indication of a physiological condition of a patient;
determining if the physiological condition is outside an expected status;
receiving an indication of a physiological rhythm status of the patient;
determining a physiological rhythm phase of the patient responsive to the indicated physiological rhythm status;
determining a treatment light configured to affect at least one of an advance and delay physiological rhythm response in the patient; and
causing the treatment light to be emitted onto the patient.

Abstract
A method of affecting a physiological rhythm is provided. The method may include the steps of receiving an indication of a physiological condition of a patient, determining if the physiological condition is outside an expected status, receiving an indication of a physiological rhythm status of the patient, determining a physiological rhythm phase of the patient responsive to the indicated physiological rhythm status, determining a treatment light configured to affect at least one of an advance and delay physiological rhythm response in the patient, and causing the treatment light to be emitted onto the patient.

9. A method of affecting a blood glucose level in a patient comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a blood glucose level of a patient; determining if the blood glucose level is outside a target range; receiving an indication of a physiological rhythm status of the patient; determining a physiological rhythm phase of the patient responsive to the indicated physiological rhythm status; determining a treatment light configured to affect at least one of an advance and delay physiological rhythm response in the patient to thereby affect the blood glucose level of the patient; and causing the treatment light to be emitted onto the patient. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of affecting a blood glucose level in a patient by controlling the emission of light onto the patient via use of a computerized device operatively coupled to a lighting device that is configured to emit the light, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first signal indicating a blood glucose level of a patient via a communication device associated with the computerized device; determining a time of day associated with the received blood glucose level of the patient; determining an expected blood glucose level associated with the determined time of day; comparing the expected blood glucose level to the received blood glucose level of the patient; receiving a second signal comprising an indication of a physiological rhythm status of the patient from a device worn by the patient, the indication of physiological rhythm status being at least one of body temperature and activity level via the communication device; determining a physiological rhythm phase of the patient responsive to the indicated physiological rhythm status; determining a treatment light configured to affect at least one of an advance and delay physiological rhythm response in the patient to thereby affect the blood glucose level of the patient; and transmitting a third signal to the lighting device causing the treatment light to be emitted thereby. - View Dependent Claims (20)
