Problem
Mental-health support settings may lack an integrated, configurable color-light system that combines patient assessment, ambient-light sensing, controlled illumination, timing, and thermal management in one device.
Why it matters
A structured and adjustable system could help clinicians or researchers deliver repeatable visible-light sessions while managing intensity, duration, coverage, and equipment temperature.
Approach
The patent describes a color-therapy device with a touch-screen control panel, ambient-light sensor, timer, ergonomic base, cooling system, overhead adjustable emitter, and supplementary emitter. The control system can select or adjust visible-light parameters according to an assessment or stored protocol.
Who may benefit
Potential users include mental-health and counseling clinics, wellness facilities, clinical researchers, and medical-device developers evaluating controlled chromotherapy or therapeutic-lighting systems.
Potential value
The design combines assessment-guided control, multiple independently adjustable light sources, ambient-light feedback, timed sessions, and cooling in a single configurable platform.
Background
Background
The specification identifies access, cost, and personalization limitations in existing mental-health care and argues that earlier light-therapy systems do not fully integrate patient-centered assessment, sensory modulation, environmental control, and standardized protocols.
Technology overview
Technology overview
A rectangular touch-screen control panel coordinates a light sensor, integrated timer and cooling system, an adjustable overhead circular emitter, and a cylindrical supplementary emitter. Visible-light colors and intensities can be set independently, ambient conditions can be monitored for real-time adjustment, and treatment sessions can follow stored protocols or clinician input. The claimed method assesses a patient's condition, selects a light source and intensity, and exposes the patient for a controlled period.
Potential applications
Potential applications
- Clinician-supervised color-light sessions in mental-health or counseling environments.
- Configurable relaxation and stress-management programs in wellness settings.
- Research platforms for evaluating visible-light colors, intensities, durations, and multi-emitter coverage.
- Adjunctive therapeutic-lighting workflows integrated with established mental-health care, subject to clinical validation.
Evidence-supported advantages
Evidence-supported advantages
- Ambient-light sensing can support real-time intensity adjustment.
- Overhead and supplementary emitters provide independently adjustable coverage.
- A timer and cooling system support controlled, heat-managed sessions.
- Touch-screen control and stored protocols can improve repeatability and ease of operation.
- Configurable colors, intensities, and durations allow sessions to be tailored to intended protocols.
Development stage
Development stage
Granted U.S. patent; prototype maturity, clinical validation, and regulatory status were not independently verified.
Commercial opportunity
Commercial opportunity
The platform may support licensing or co-development for clinician-supervised therapeutic-lighting, mental-wellness, or research environments. Commercial deployment would require engineering validation, human-factors testing, clinical evidence for intended claims, and any applicable medical-device regulatory clearance.
