Color therapy device
View Patent ↗A color therapy device and a method of treating a patient's mental health. The color therapy device includes a control panel, a light sensor, an integrated timer, an ergonomic base, an integrated cooling system, an overhead adjustable light emitter, and a supplementary light emitter. The light sensor, the integrated timer, the integrated cooling system, the overhead adjustable light emitter, and the supplementary light emitter are all electronically connected to the control panel. The control panel is a rectangular prism and includes a touch screen and an additional light emitter, which is semicircular in shape. The cooling system prevents the color therapy device from overheating. The integrated timer turns off the color therapy device after a set time has elapsed, and the touch screen controls the color and intensity of the light emitted from each of the overhead adjustable light emitter and the supplementary light emitter.
1 . A color therapy device, comprising:
a control panel, a light sensor, an integrated timer, an ergonomic base, an integrated cooling system, an overhead adjustable light emitter, and a supplementary light emitter,
wherein the light sensor, the integrated timer, the integrated cooling system, the overhead adjustable light emitter and the supplementary light emitter are electronically connected to the control panel,
wherein the control panel is a rectangular prism with a width of Z, a length of 0.8Z-1.2Z, and a height of 0.05Z-0.2Z,
wherein the control panel includes a touch screen and an additional light emitter shaped in a semicircle,
wherein the integrated cooling system prevents the color therapy device from overheating,
wherein the overhead adjustable light emitter is a circular unit, with a diameter X, with a central circular light in the center of the circular unit and a plurality of additional circular lights arranged within the perimeter of the circular unit, and emits a range of colors and has adjustable brightness,
wherein the supplementary light emitter is a cylindrical unit, having a first circular plane face, with a diameter Y, that forms a base of the supplementary light emitter, a second circular plane face that has a circular light in the center, and a curved face of the cylindrical unit has a plurality of circular lights arranged in straight horizontal lines,
wherein the overhead adjustable light emitter and the supplementary light emitter each emit independently adjustable wavelengths of light,
wherein the integrated timer is configured to turn off the color therapy device after a set time has elapsed,
wherein the control panel is configured to control the color and an intensity of the light emitted from each of the overhead adjustable light emitter and the supplementary light emitter.
2 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein X=1-3 meters.
3 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the central circular light of the overhead adjustable light emitter has a diameter of 0.1X-0.3X.
4 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of additional circular lights of the overhead adjustable light emitter have a diameter of 0.05X-0.2X.
5 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein Y=0.1-1.5 meters.
6 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the supplementary light emitter has a height of 0.5Y-1.0Y.
7 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the circular light in the center of the second circular plane face of the supplementary light emitter has a diameter of 0.5Y-0.9Y.
8 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lights on the curved face of the supplementary light emitter have a diameter of 0.05Y-0.2Y.
9 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the overhead adjustable light emitters are configured to emit a color selected from the group consisting of blue, green, yellow, and pink.
10 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein Z=10-100 centimeters.
11 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the additional light emitter shaped in a semicircle has a radius of 0.3Z-0.6Z.
12 . The color therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the touch screen has a length of 0.25Z-0.6Z and a width of 0.1Z-0.2Z.
13 . A method of treating a patient's mental health, comprising:
assessing the patient's condition; and
exposing the patient to light emitted from the color therapy device of claim 1 ,
wherein a source of the light and the intensity of the light are based on the patient's condition.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the patient is exposed to blue light if the patient is anxious or stressed, exposed to green light if the patient needs relaxation, exposed to yellow light if the patient needs energy, and exposed to pink light if the patient is depressed.
15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the patient is exposed to the emitted light for 30-90 minutes.
