Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current light therapy devices are limited by using a single wavelength of light, which restricts the therapeutic benefits they can provide.
Innovation Solution
A light therapy device that treats a subject with multiple wavelengths of light, selected from specific groups of wavelengths known to work well in combination, is used. The device includes multiple light sources emitting light of three different wavelengths on each side, with the option to add hydrogen and oxygen to the water being treated.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single wavelength of light is used in light therapy devices, then the device structure is simple, but the therapeutic benefits are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple light sources emitting different wavelengths (e.g., blue, cyan, green, yellow-green, yellow, orange, red) into a single light therapy device. This merging of multiple wavelength capabilities into one device structure resolves the contradiction by enabling diverse therapeutic benefits while maintaining integrated device functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The light therapy device is designed to emit multiple wavelengths simultaneously or selectively, making it a multi-functional device that can address various therapeutic needs (skin conditions, pain relief, wound healing, etc.) in a single apparatus, thereby improving adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Reliability
If multiple wavelengths of light are used, then therapeutic effectiveness is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different wavelengths are merged into a single device structure, allowing the system to deliver enhanced therapeutic effectiveness through combined wavelength action while maintaining a unified device architecture rather than requiring separate devices for each wavelength.
Solution Approach 2:
The device utilizes different wavelengths (a parameter of light) to achieve varied therapeutic effects. By changing the wavelength parameter across multiple LEDs within one device, the system enhances reliability and therapeutic effectiveness without fundamentally altering the basic device structure.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple light panels are used to treat from different directions, then treatment coverage is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates light panels positioned on opposite sides of the treatment chamber, enabling light to penetrate the subject from multiple directions (front and back). This spatial arrangement in multiple dimensions expands treatment coverage area without requiring excessive additional components, as the panels are arranged symmetrically to maximize coverage efficiency.

This approach enhances the therapeutic effectiveness of light therapy by utilizing multiple wavelengths, potentially leading to novel water structures and improved health outcomes when used on subjects.
Implementation Method 1
The first light panel may have multiple light sources that emit light of three different first side wavelengths that is directed towards the water in the container. The second light panel may have multiple light sources that emit light of three different second side wavelengths that is directed towards the water in the container.

AI summary
A light therapy device that treats a subject with multiple wavelengths of light to provide a beneficial therapeutic effect. The device may emit at least three different wavelengths that are selected from specific wavelength combinations that have been found to have synergistic and positive therapy effects. The lights may be incorporated into any type of therapy device, such as a handheld light therapy device, light therapy elements integrated into a hat for treating the scalp or for hair loss, a light therapy bed, a light therapy facial treatment device, and a light therapy sauna.
