1. A method for operating a phototherapy system, the method comprising:
obtaining one or more data sources comprising one or more of: user account information, a remote payload, user input, measurements by a phototherapy kiosk, or any combination thereof;
determining base treatment parameters based on the data sources, wherein the base treatment parameters specify one or more of: radiation duration, radiation intensity, wavelength filters, radiation dose escalation, skin areas to treat, or any combination thereof;
applying one or more mappings that map treatment parameters to first kiosk controls; and
performing a usability check to detect if a hazard exists to a user of the phototherapy kiosk,
wherein:
in response to a hazard not being detected, the method further includes causing the first kiosk controls to be applied at the phototherapy kiosk, wherein applying at least some of the first kiosk controls comprises operating one or more UV radiation units, and
in response to a hazard being detected, the method further includes generating second kiosk controls to block the phototherapy kiosk from providing any radiation to the user of the phototherapy kiosk.
