Wearable blue-light treatment system an method

Abstract

The invention relates to a wearable blue-light treatment system and method. The system comprises an adapter used for driving a light-emitting unit, a light-emitting unit which emits a specific wavelength light wave, a temperature sensor used for measuring the temperature of equipment, a flexible insulating layer used for electrical insulation, a flexible printed circuit board used for making the adapter electrically connected with the light emitting unit, a flexible substrate used for fixing and installing the light emitting unit, the flexible insulating layer and a flexible reflecting layer,the flexible reflecting layer used for the reflecting the light wave, a flexible light guide plate used for the propagating the light wave, and self-adhesive tape used for wearing and adjustment of the equipment. The system is characterized in that a blue light treatment box is miniaturized and wraps and is worn on human organs such as arms and shanks for blue light irradiation treatment; Due to blood circulation of the human body, by means of reasonable control over the time of local irradiation, the same effect as whole body irradiation can be achieved; due to the fact that strong light exposure does not exist for local wearable irradiation, eyes of newborns cannot be injured, and full medical escort is not needed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wearable blue light therapy system and method technical background [0002] Blue light irradiation is a simple, effective and quick method to treat neonatal jaundice. Jaundice is the high content of bilirubin in newborns. Bilirubin can absorb light. Under the action of light and oxygen, fat-soluble bilirubin is oxidized into a water-soluble product, which can be excreted from bile or urine. In vitro, thereby reducing serum unconjugated bilirubin concentrations. The absorption band of bilirubin is 400-500 nanometers, especially at the wavelength of 420-440 nanometers, the photolysis is the strongest, while the wavelength of blue light is just between 425-475 nanometers. The treatment principle of blue light therapy is to convert the bilirubin in the body into other substances through light irradiation, so that the accumulated bilirubin in the body can find another outlet, and the symptoms of jaundice can be improved. Theref...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the blue light treatment box is widely used in hospitals at present, but because the blue light treatment box is a semi-closed box, it is necessary to cover the eyes of the newborn with an eye mask before placing it in the box. , it may cause the eye mask to fall off, causing the eyes of newborns to look directly at the strong light and cause eye damage. Therefore, the blue light treatment box needs to be equipped with professional medical staff for 24 hours of care. There is still room for improvement in terms of cost and safety.
