Abstract:
A light therapy bed including multiple LEDs positioned in individually controllable modules is disclosed. The modules of LEDs are configured to have direct contact or in close proximity to the skin or tissue of the user, through an acrylic or similar cover. The LEDs light the surface and underlying layers of tissue for photodynamic stimulation of the cells. Iterations of the device utilize light known to have a bactericidal effect in the case of acne, MRSA, etc. The bed is fabricated and formed in a curved configuration to optimize contact between the LEDs and the skin of a user. Each of the LED modules may be mounted on a PCB in an arrangement to provide even lighting and temperature upon the skin or tissue surface of a user. Each module also has one or more thermal sensors that evenly and quickly heat all of the areas of a user's body.

Claim (Index 1):
A LED therapy bed comprising:\n a plurality of LED modules; the plurality of LED modules each having upstanding walls; an acrylic cover over the LEDs in the modules; the acrylic cover resting on and supported by the upstanding walls of the modules; a frame supporting the LED therapy bed; each LED module having a plurality of different LEDs regulated by one or more current limiting circuits; the plurality of different LEDs configured to be overdriven to increase light output beyond normal operating intensity and to further produce thermal heat from the plurality of LEDs in order to produce a skin temperature of a user between 101 and 108 degrees Fahrenheit from direct thermal conduction; each of the LED modules further including at least one thermal sensor placed between the LEDs and is in conductive contact with the acrylic cover; the thermal sensor being supported by and resting within a flexible arm that is located between the LEDs of each module; the thermal sensor locally senses a temperature adjacent the underside of the acrylic cover which is over the LEDs within a module; each of the LED modules further including at least one fan wherein the fan speed is regulated directly or indirectly by said at least one thermal sensor; and a master controller that controls the LEDs, the at least one fan and the at least one thermal sensor in each said module; wherein the temperature of each module, LED or duster of LEDs is separately controlled while each module or LED or cluster of LEDs is providing treatment; wherein the LEDs, thermal sensor, current limiting circuit and fan are controlled by the master controller to raise and maintain the skin temperature of all areas of the user's body being treated by the LED therapy bed from a starting temperature to a same therapeutic temperature in the range of 101 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit.
