AB  - In the recent past, laser therapy has made immense progress as it is known to change microcirculation, modulate vegetative parameters, and stimulate mitochondrial activity in the human body. This editorial briefly describes a new laser watch prototype (generation 2021), which can be used to perform continuous and simultaneous blood irradiation at the radial and/or ulnar artery of the wrist with different wavelengths of laser light. In a preliminary measurement, the increase in regional oxygen saturation at the crook of the elbow during laser light stimulation with the watch was observed using near-infrared spectroscopy. Apart from this, laser stimulation applied via a newly designed laser watch can modulate biological parameters (photobiomodulation). However, presently, the possible long-term effects are not known, as there are no studies on this topic available to date.
