Development of a Prototype Lamp for Phototherapy

This project focuses on developing a functional prototype of a neonatal phototherapy lamp using LED technology, aiming to improve energy efficiency and reduce heat generation compared to traditional methods. The design addresses the need for a safe and efficient digital electronic control system for light therapy. The solution involves designing and developing the power supply, designing the printed circuit boards (PCB) for the LED array and the power supply, and implementing the electronic control system (hardware and software). Key specifications include a total power of 25W, power regulation from 50% to 100%, programmable therapy times (up to 72 hours), and a user interface via a 16x2 LCD screen with an audible completion alert. The methodology includes literature review, evaluation of diode configurations, detailed electronic design, component acquisition, and experimental validation of the developed hardware and software in specialized laboratories.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>The main objective is the design and construction of an LED-based phototherapy lamp, meeting rigorous technical specifications, for presentation at the IngeniaTEC Contest.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Rehabilitation engineering
