Expanding Near Infrared Light Therapy to Novel Applications

The inventive concept leverages the core technology of near infrared light therapy, originally designed for treating traumatic brain injury, to pioneer new applications in plant growth, animal stress reduction, skin condition treatment, cognitive function improvement, and pain management.

The original patent focused on treating traumatic brain injury, but its underlying technology has broader potential. This inventive concept addresses the limitations of the original patent by exploring new industries and use cases where near infrared light therapy can provide significant benefits.

The inventive concept encompasses a range of novel applications, including: (1) enhancing plant growth using near infrared light, (2) reducing stress in animals through wearable devices, (3) treating skin conditions with handheld units, (4) improving cognitive function in individuals with ADHD using headbands, and (5) alleviating pain in patients with fibromyalgia. Each application leverages the core technology of near infrared light therapy, with tailored modifications to address specific challenges and needs.

The inventive concept introduces new and non-obvious applications of near infrared light therapy, departing from the original patent's focus on traumatic brain injury. The novel combination of near infrared light therapy with specific industries and use cases constitutes the inventive step.

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include: (1) integrating near infrared light therapy with existing agricultural systems, (2) developing implantable devices for animal stress reduction, (3) creating near infrared light-emitting fabrics for skin condition treatment, (4) incorporating near infrared light therapy into virtual reality platforms for ADHD treatment, and (5) designing portable near infrared light devices for fibromyalgia pain management.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential across various industries, including agriculture, veterinary care, dermatology, neuroscience, and pain management. The target market includes companies and organizations seeking innovative solutions for these specific challenges, as well as individuals seeking alternative therapies for various health conditions.
