A device for providing controlled photonic modalities includes a substrate having a length and a width, at least one array of controllable photonic emitters and at least one electromagnetic emitter both attached the substrate. A controller is configured to allow a user to select the type of photonic energy and electromagnetic energy.

BACKGROUND

The present disclosure relates a multipurpose device that is configured for use as a mat, a cover for draping on a surface or as a hanging sheet. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a multipurpose device having controllable photonic and/or electromagnetic modalities that can provide one or more treatments to a person, provide ambiance to a space and/or change environmental conditions within a space.

Many people desire to utilize photonic energy for treatments or to enhance the effects of exercise, physical therapy, massage and the like. However, to obtain the photonic treatments, the user typically has to travel to a location, which can be inconvenient.

Additionally, even if a user were able to obtain a device for the photonic treatment, the devices can be bulky and difficult to store. Especially where a user's living space is limited, the size of the photonic device may prevent a user from obtaining the photonic device.

The different photonic energies provide different benefits to the user. By way of non-limiting example, red light (620-750 nm) in the visible light spectrum is known to improve skin appearance, such as reducing wrinkles, scars, redness and acne and aid in recovery after working out or experiencing trauma to the person's body. Green light (525-550 nm) is known to improve the appearance of the skin by lessening dark circles, pigmentation, broken capillaries and sunspots and calm irritated or over-stimulated skin. Blue light therapy (405-410 nm) can be used to treat acne and can improve skin tone and texture. Yellow light therapy (580-590 nm) can reduce the appearance of solar lentigos. Full spectrum white light (400-700 nm) can uplift mood and enhance meditative calm.

The photonic energies also include those in the infrared spectrum (800-1200 nm) which can be used for detoxification, pain relief, reduction of muscle tension, relaxation, improved circulation, weight loss, skin purification, boosting of the immune system, aid in lowering of blood pressure and aid in recovery from physical exercise. The photonic energies also include those in the ultraviolet spectrum (280-380 nm) which can be used to treat skin disorders such as psoriasis, vitiligo, destroy bacteria and promote wound healing.

The use of electromagnetic modalities creates magnetic fields that can improve the human body's natural recovery and energy, and provide treatments or biomagnetic therapies for users. The electromagnetic modalities can be used in physical recovery, healing, to lessen pain, management of diabetes, recovery from injury, assist musculoskeletal conditions, tissue repair or inflammation, or conditions including bone fractures and degenerative conditions. Additionally, electromagnetic treatments can aid in adjusting the pH in a user's body to reestablish a balanced and substantially neutral pH.

There is a need to deliver photonic and/or electromagnetic modalities in a controlled manner with a device that is configured to cover a large and/or selected area for a desired treatment while being able to be rolled and/or folded for storage in a compact configuration.

The cord 216 is in electrical communication with a control panel 218 that is powered by a battery pack 220 that can have a unique interface with a receptacle 222.

The power in the battery pack is calculated by determining the power needed to power the control panel 218 and the array LED light emitters and/or NIR emitters 214 for a selected period of time. The power in the battery pack is sufficiently low so that no harm would come to a user in the event of a failure of the seal between the sheets 210 and 212.

The control panel 218 allows the user to select the wavelength, intensity and pulsation frequency of the visible light and/or NIR as well as the duration of use. In some embodiments, the device 200 includes the pulsed electromagnetic field motors 205 and/or the natural materials 207 that emit biomagnetic energy. The user can then bathe or shower while received a controlled phototherapy session and/or a biomagnetic session.
