ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,708,259, issued on Aug. 18.

"Systems and methods for AI-gating photomodulation" was invented by Michael Reynard (Santa Monica, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An AI-controlled photonic system that performs therapeutic photomodulation and reflective optical diagnostics, including OCT, OCTA, near-infrared reflectance, and fundus autofluorescence, is described here. The system incorporates an AI-Predictive Gating module that identifies optimal temporal windows for energy delivery or data acquisition based on reflectance dynamics, retinal motion, physiologic parameters, mitochondrial biomarkers, and image-quality metrics.
