    "problem_addressed": "Skin wounds, arthritis, sports injuries, immune deficiencies, fatigue, and general health deterioration.",
    "concept_summary": "A lighting unit that uses high-intensity LEDs combined with a linear polarizing filter to emit linearly polarized visible/near-infrared light onto the body. The light penetrates ~1 cm into tissue, enters the bloodstream via capillaries, and delivers systemic biological stimulation, improving immune cell activity, oxygen transport, and overall cellular function.",
