SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHOTOTHERAPY
First Claim
1. A system for treating a skin condition with phototherapy, the system comprising:
- a) a phototherapy device comprising a phototherapy light source;
b) a patient computing device comprising a processor and a memory, the patient computing device configured to;
transmit a first signal to the phototherapy device enabling operation of the phototherapy device according to one or more conditional prescription parameters, activate the phototherapy light source, and transmit a second signal reporting operation of the phototherapy device; and
c) a server configured to communicate with the patient computing device and receive the second signal.

36. A system for treating a skin condition, the condition comprising psoriasis, vitiligo, or eczema, with phototherapy, the system comprising:
-
a) a hand-held phototherapy device comprising a light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy light source configured to emit a light comprising a UVB wavelength in the range of 300-320 nm and a signal receiver; and b) a patient computing device comprising a smartphone, the smartphone comprising a processor and a memory, the smartphone configured to; i. present an interface providing a treatment schedule, treatment reminders, and directions for how to use the phototherapy device; ii. transmit a first signal to the hand-held phototherapy device enabling operation of the phototherapy device according to one or more conditional prescription parameters originating at a remote computing device; iii. activate the phototherapy light source; and iv. transmit a second signal to a server; c) a server configured to; i. perform analysis of patient records, prescribed treatment protocols, and outcomes over populations of patients; ii. perform computational analysis; iii. determine an initial phototherapy dose based on a skin type or susceptibility to erythema of a user; and iv. determine subsequent phototherapy doses using image analysis of an image of a treated area of skin and surrounding skin tissue, the analysis comprising an analysis of a degree of erythema of the treated area of skin or the surrounding tissue; d) a database communicatively connected to the server, the database storing patient records and prescribed treatment protocols; and e) a remote computing device configured to communicate with the server, the remote computing device comprising a processor and a memory, the remote computing device configured to; i. display a graphic user interface allowing a health care provider to enter the one or more conditional prescription parameters; ii. transmit a first communication to the server; and iii. receive a second communication from the server.
