Dynamic dosing systems for phototherapy and associated devices, systems, and methods

A method for operating a dynamic dosing phototherapy system, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a user via a user interface, first user inputs related to user-specific characteristics affecting photosensitivity;
• determining, based at least in part on the first user inputs, an individual screening phototherapy protocol and an individual phototherapy protocol associated with an estimated minimal erythema dose (MED) for the user;
• causing, via a controller in communication with an ultraviolet (UV) radiation assembly, the UV radiation assembly to deliver UV radiation to the user during a screening phototherapy session in accordance with the individual screening phototherapy protocol, wherein the individual screening phototherapy protocol comprises causing the UV radiation assembly to deliver a screening dose to the user, wherein the screening dose delivers 70% or less of the estimated MED;
• and
• determining, based on second user inputs related to an erythema response to the screening phototherapy session, a suitability of the first individual phototherapy protocol for the user, wherein:
• responsive to a determination that the individual phototherapy protocol is suitable for the user, the method further comprises communicating the suitability to the controller such that the controller operates the UV radiation assembly in accordance with the individual phototherapy protocol to deliver the estimated MED in a second phototherapy session.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• determining, based on first user inputs received from a user via a user interface, parameters specific to the user, wherein the parameters specific to the user include an individual minimal erythemal dose (MED);
• determining an individual screening protocol and a first individual phototherapy protocol, wherein the an individual screening protocol is configured to deliver a screening dose of ultraviolet (UV) radiation equal to a fraction of the individual MED from the parameters specific to the user, and wherein the first individual phototherapy protocol is configured to deliver a first dose of UV radiation based at least partially on the parameters specific to the user to deliver the individual MED;
• causing a UV radiation assembly to deliver the screening dose of UV radiation to the user during a screening session in accordance with the individual screening protocol;
• determining the first individual phototherapy protocol is acceptable based on second user inputs related to an erythema response to the screening dose;
• causing the UV radiation assembly to deliver the first dose of UV radiation to the user during a first phototherapy session in accordance with the first individual phototherapy protocol;
• and
• determining escalating erythemal events based on third user inputs related to an erythema response to the first dose of UV radiation and adjustments to the parameters specific to the user based on the determined escalating erythemal events to define a second individual phototherapy protocol, wherein the determined escalating erythemal events comprise minimal perceived erythema (MPE), MED, second degree erythema, third degree erythema, and fourth degree erythema.
