Personalized image-based guidance for energy-based therapeutic devices

A method for identifying one or more placement locations for one or more energy-delivery nodes of an energy-based therapeutic device, the method comprising:

• receiving by a computer system, a first media comprising a first image or a first video depicting an external surface of a body part of a subject having a physical condition in need of energy-based therapy, the computer system comprising a processor in communication with at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing a node placement database configured to store a plurality of node placement configurations;
• analyzing, by the computer system, the first media to characterize the physical condition of the body part, the physical condition comprising a medical condition or a symptom accompanying a medical condition;
• determining a placement position for each of the one or more energy-delivery nodes of the energy-based therapeutic device based on the characterized physical condition, the placement position selected from one of the plurality of node placement configurations stored in the node placement database;
• and
• providing a second media comprising the determined placement position for each of the one or more energy-delivery nodes, the second media comprising a second image or a second video depicting the determined placement position of each of the one or more energy-delivery nodes in relation to the body part depicted in the first media.
