Abstract

The therapeutic use of laser radiation from the visible and near-infrared electromagnetic spectrum as gained significant ground in therapeutic and rehabilitation treatments within the primary health care sector. Red and near-infrared radiation are the most commonly used; however, research as identified important therapeutic effects in green, blue, violet, and ultraviolet A radiation.
Specialists from the Class of Life Sciences at the Technological University of Habana “Jose Antonio Echeverría” (CUJAE), together with biomedical engineering students, have conducted preliminary studies and research. In collaboration with medical personnel, they have proposed the design and development of soft laser devices with different wavelengths (multi-spectrum). The results of these developments have been promising for their application in primary health care.
As part of this study, laser devices powered by rechargeable batteries were designed and built, with a charger that can be connected to a solar cell. This innovation has expanded the capabilities of this type of therapy.
This paper presents the results of multiespectral laser applications using the developed devices, in collaboration with the UltraSmart R&D Laboratory in Hungary, under the direction of Peter Hersics. Special laser diodes and lithium-ion rechargeable batteries were used in treatments for post-Covid patients and common pain-related conditions in primary health care.
