Biography
Dr. Lew Lim is the Founder & CEO of Vielight Inc., and is the inventor of the devices offered by the company. He is a leader in translating the science of photobiomodulation (PBM) into wearable and personal use products, particularly in the field of neurology and neuro science. Today, he directs much of his energy in the search of a solution for Alzheimer’s disease and other brain diseases using PBM. He is also actively pursuing to realize the potential of PBM to address other medical conditions and to enhance human potential. His education and training comprises of engineering, neuroscience, natural medicine, finance, accountancy and management. He obtained his degrees and diplomas from University of California at Berkeley, University of Sheffield, Quantum University, Duke University and The Institute of Chartered Management Accountants, UK.

Self-administrable method, system and apparatus for non-invasive neurostimulation therapy of the brain
13/986,768
2013-06-04
The present invention is a portable non-invasive apparatus, system, and method for performing light therapy or photobiomodulation upon the brain tissues through the nostrils of a living mammalian subject for the medical purpose of stimulating the brain in-vivo. In marked difference to conventionally known therapeutic procedures, the present invention utilizes the intranasal pathway as the point of...
Method and portable system for non-invasive, in-vivo blood irradiation light therapy

In photobiomodulation, cells (with mitochondria) that are not in homeostasis normally enters into the process of restoring homeostasis when exposed to low intensity light in the red to near infrared red wavelengths. This same has been observed in the neurons of nerve cells that are under oxidative stress. If low intensity light in the red to near infrared red can reach degenerating neurons, as in...

Available evidence supports intranasal light therapy for brain-related conditions such as mild cognitive impairment, Parkinson’s Disease, migraine, stroke. However, the present set of parameters has been based on optimising the results for blood irradiation; which may be holding back its potential for better neurological outcomes. We analysed the literature to arrive at reference parameters for...
