AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current phototherapy devices for non-human animals require close contact and animal cooperation, making it challenging to treat the entire body systematically while the animal engages in normal activities.
Method used
A collar that emits light energy towards the neck of an animal to deliver therapeutic phototherapy, positioning the light source to treat free-floating mitochondria in veins and arteries, allowing treatment during normal activities.
Benefits of technology
Enhances mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation, providing systemic therapeutic effects without heating the tissue, enabling treatment of multiple ailments across the animal's body.

Abstract
A collar worn around the neck of an animal delivers non-invasive light energy to free-floating mitochondria flowing through the animal's veins and arteries. The collar comprises a housing which holds at least one light source, a power source, a controller and in some configurations a reflector. The housing has an aperture through which the light energy is emitted towards the animal's tissue. The housing is connected to a band or harness, which positions the housing where the neck broadens out to the shoulder. Preferably the collar is secured around the neck of the animal loosely enough that the housing falls naturally by gravity to where the neck broadens out to the shoulder. The non-invasive light energy impinges the animal's fur or tissue and penetrates to free- floating mitochondria in the blood flowing through the animal's veins and arteries. This results in improved oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial function in the treated mitochondria.
