Abstract
A light-based therapy device is provided that includes a controller mechanism that produces power and control signals to enable operation of one or more medical devices. An implantable light delivery device (IM-LDD) is coupled to the controller mechanism that receives the power and the control signals to enable a light source to emit sufficient illumination. The light source is implanted within body cavities enabling energy at one or more wavelengths to reach and provide therapy treatment to a selected region.
