1. A modular low level light therapy system, comprising:
- one or more device bodies configured to be positioned on the body of a user proximate to a treatment area;
one or more light sources positioned on each device body, the light sources configured to output one or more therapeutic optical signals to the treatment area, the light sources comprising of an array of multiple semiconductor emitters;
one or more treatment controllers positioned on each device body, the treatment controllers having at least one device circuit therein, the device circuit in communication with the light sources positioned on the device body and configured to provide at least one control signal to the light sources to regulate the operation of at least one emitter of the light sources;
one or more sensors in communication with at least one device circuit and configured to measure one or more treatment parameter from an area of interest of a body of a patient; and
at least one system controller in communication with at least one device circuit and the sensors, the system controller configured to vary the operation of the light source via the device circuits of the treatment controllers based on data received from the sensors.

Abstract
The present application discloses various embodiments of a modular low-level light therapy system configured to be worn by or otherwise affixed to the patient. Moreover, unlike prior art systems, the present modular low-level light therapy system disclosed herein may be worn by a moving patient while receiving treatment. Further, the modular low-level light therapy system disclosed herein may easily be adapted from use in various locations on the body of the patient.
