Device for Providing Body Temperature Regulation and/or Therapeutic Light Directed to Vasculature
First Claim
1. A therapeutic device, comprising:
- a band adapted to be worn or applied to a user'"'"'s skin; and
a first plurality of light sources carried on the band, the first plurality of light sources positioned to direct light energy toward the user'"'"'s skin along at least a substantial portion of the band, such that each of the first plurality of light sources are oriented substantially perpendicular to the user'"'"'s skin.

Abstract
One bracelet embodiment provides therapeutic blood irradiation at a first wrist region using a first module, and body temperature regulation/irradiation at a second wrist region using a second module. A connector couples one end of the modules together, while an attachment band releasably couples the second ends together, for attachment to the wrist. The first module includes first and second distributed pluralities of lights respectively emitting 850 and 660 nm wavelengths, and a third plurality emitting 630 nm, 532 nm, and 450 nm wavelengths, positioned in a row substantially parallel to the arm of the user. The second module includes first and second rows of lights on first and second sides of a cooling unit, each emitting 405 nm wavelengths, with the two rows positioned for penetration to the radial and ulnar arteries. The bracelet includes a microprocessor, LED screen, and firmware for displaying a GUI permitting treatment protocol selections.

17. A bracelet comprising:
-
a first treatment module comprising a first plurality of light sources configured to emit a first plurality of selective wavelengths of light away from a first side of said first treatment module; a second treatment module comprising a second plurality of light sources configured to emit a selective wavelength of light away from a first side of said second treatment module; a connector band configured to flexibly couple said first treatment module to said second treatment module; and an attachment band fixedly secured to said first treatment module, and configured for a portion thereof to be releasably coupled to said second treatment module; and wherein said second plurality of light sources are positioned in a first row and a second row in said second treatment module, said first and second rows oriented to substantially overlie the radial and ulnar arteries of the user, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A bracelet configured for therapeutic blood irradiation of at least at a first wrist region of a user and for body temperature regulation at a second wrist region of the user, said bracelet comprising:
-
a first treatment module comprising one or more light sources configured to emit one or more selective wavelengths of light away from a first side of said first treatment module; a second treatment module comprising means for cooling proximate to a first side of said second treatment module; a connector band configured to flexibly couple said first treatment module to said second treatment module; and an attachment band having a first end fixedly secured to said first treatment module, and configured for a portion thereof to be releasably coupled to said second treatment module. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
