METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IMPROVING IMMUNITY Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61N5/06 

FIELD: medicine; physiotherapy.

SUBSTANCE: method of improving immunity is based upon irradiation of patient's body by optical radiation with wavelength λ chosen within spectral intervals of action of light-oxygen effect. Before irradiation, power of radiation is measured as well as refractivity of patient's body at selected wavelength. Then patient is subject to radiation in light-integrating camera during time τ, determined by formula τ=7,5E₀(λ)/P(1-K_h)√HM x (4πR²+0,13√HM)²/4πR²k_s+0,13Kh√HM seconds, where E₀(λ)m is reference value of light dosage of radiation, J; P is power of radiation source, W; K_h is reflectivity factor of patient's skin at selected wavelength λ; H is height of patient, m; M is weight of patient, kg; R is radius of light-integrating camera, m; K_s is diffusion reflection coefficient of camera's walls. Device for improving immunity has light-integrating camera where optical radiation source is placed, which source is made in form of sphere, optical radiation source power photodetector and patient's skin reflection coefficient photometer. All units are connected with computer through interface. Computer has to integral part of diagnostics and control unit. Optical radiation source is electrically and optically connected with diagnostic and control unit through light guide connector.

EFFECT: improved efficiency; higher safety and efficiency of light medicinal procedure.
