AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current methods for managing myopia progression, such as optical interventions and light irradiation, often require ongoing compliance and can cause adverse effects like retinal burn or overexposure, and there is a need for safer and more effective photobiomodulation techniques.

Method used

A method and system for photobiomodulation that applies light through the skull, nose, or eyelid using LED arrays or halogen lights with adjustable wavelengths, durations, and intensities, combined with biological response monitoring and AI/ML to optimize treatment, avoiding direct eye exposure and enhancing compliance.

Benefits of technology

This approach safely increases choroidal thickness, decreases eye axial length, and enhances mitochondrial activity, effectively slowing myopia progression while improving physiological performance and treating conditions like Alzheimer's and diabetes.

Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing photobiomodulation by applying light to a temporal region, a nose, and / or an eye of a subject are disclosed. A method for applying photobiomodulation light therapy to a subject can include applying a dose of light to at least one of a temporal region, through a nose, or to an eyelid of a subject, detecting an effect of the applied dose of light on a biological characteristic of the subject, and adjusting the dose based on the detected effect.
