RedMed - Red Light Therapy
Red light has been shown to have a therapeutic effect, some studies show a heightened effect when the light is pulsed rather than static. 10 Hz is a good starting point for pulsing.
The software enables you to turn off all the devices radio hardware (enable airplane mode) as well as mute the audio to enhance the therapeutic effect without any disturbance.
When cells are exposed to red light the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) increases along with ROS (reactive oxygen species) and NO (nitric oxide). All of these factors aid cellular repair.
Important Note: Pulsing light is not suitable for photosensitive epileptics.

Eyesight improvement after 5 mins. After reading about the study by London College about improvements in eyesight from red light therapy using a torch, I've been searching for a decent screen or led bulb to trial. So thought id give this a go. My left eye sees noticeably dimmer than my right and after 5 mins using this on my samsung s9, I now genuinely cannot see a difference between my left and right. Amazing!!! Only issue is that my screen is too big.
Not likely mobile devices can emit very much, if any, 670nm. The gamut is too narrow. Typical LCD display red wavelengths are very attenuated by about 610nm. Also, the light intensity here is way too low. Unlikely to be therapeutic at all.
I have only gotten use at once but I'm going to be using it again in about an hour but it did some amazing things in that 15 minutes I love it I wish I understood what the other colors are for I know what red and blue are for but what are all the other ones for La figure it out keep up the good work this app is amazing. ------------------------- Why is this app not updated for Android 11? Back down to 1 🌟 till you fix!
Needs an audible alert. Unless you're using it on your face, you either need a separate timer, or you have to keep checking. All it needs is an optional beep when it's done.
Screen is not staying on even after turning off all the battery optimizations. Yes i can make my screen stays on by changing time out from settings everytime i use it but it is not very practical, so I switched to another app.
Seems cool but in the study I didn't see anything about pulse or closing your eyes. I thought it was staring with eyes opened into deep red light for 3 min a day. What is the advantage of pulsing? Are your eyes supposed to be closed for some reason when you look at it? Does it work better with eyes open or closed?
Good idea. Some suggestions, don't change screen brightness until user presses go. Let user input specific freq. E.g 7.83 Hz and enable pulsing screen brightness by a certain % rather than just on-off.
Nice alternative ☺️ until i get my REAL Red Light Therapy set-up 👍 actually i think it's working or just a placebo effect ☺️ what ever it is, it doing positive things to me ❗ Also kindly make the address screen touching it's so sensitive, can't barely do it on knees joint, cause it's going back to home screen ❗
If this red light really is 650nm, which is not far from 670nm the very hot, trendy, eye-benefiting wavelength that news are touting everywhere recently, then it's godsend. Keep up the good work.
Just read that red light therapy may help improve eyesight JUST started wearing reading glasses will updates asap but works with several different flashing colors we'll see (no pun intended)
I think this is great. Would be awesome if you can allow for up to 40 Hz so that I can use it for brainwave entrainment as well.
I do like it and it would be a great app but the screen flashed red light keep blinking and saying it wouldn't fit in my screen
I think this is great. I have vr goggles if you could make it split screen that would be GREAT! I appreciate your efforts thank you for this great app
I'm not sure it's safe to use light therapy from your phone screen. As cell phones emanate radiation from the battery..bad enough using them, never mind for a socalled treatment app. If you knew anything about energy and frequency you'd know this about cellphones.
Seems promising. Need to update to handle modern screen resolutions. App only uses part of my SGS20 screen.
Unable to use it on my note 10 phone. Unfortunately. I love the idea of it
Can this app be used to improve eyesight in older people? I read a scientific journal recently that reported red light of the wavelenght 670nm can help color and night vision. Does this app produce a 670nm wavelength?
Is it supposed to flash? Seems stable enough but too early to say whether therapeutic properties work.
Works as described. Would be nice if you could tweak the wavelength.
Love app!! Using on my eyes for multiple issues and I really feel like it helps.
I liked this app..... I have a question ... does it is safe to use to increase testosterone ... As I hard that red light increases testosterone ....bt I am not sure about this app... please quickly reply me .... If It is good for increasing Testosterone .... then I will rate it with 5 stars
It's working.This app help me see clearly because I have myopia. I suggest who have refractive error using this app.
what screen size is optimal for an android and do i actually look at the red light or do i placeon body part like jaw or inside mouth or wherever needs therapy?
thank you for this. i was wondering, does this improve vision? i have myopia in one eye. do i look at it at far or close? do i need to close my eyes? what duration and pulse is best for the eyes? thank you and please reply! i will give 5 stars for the answers.
NOTE: YOU CAN STOP THE PULSATING AND HAVE SOLID RED LIGHT - AT THE OPENING SCREEN, LOWER THE NUMBER OF "PULSES" TO ZERO. THAT MAKES A SOLID RED LIGHT.
Thank you for providing this app for free. I will post feedback after three months has passed.
works well what is a good frequency In hz for hair growth and what color
Unfortunately this application is designed for an older device from mine.
It really needs a little more polish. Primarily a way to lock the screen to where a bump doesn't cause it to accidentally stop. Also, prevent the screensaver from running and disrupt it. A small timer in one of the corners would be welcome as well. Also, I don't know that a phone screen is powerful enough to give a real dose. It would take like an hour or so to get a useful dose with a smart phone more than likely.
