Our research advantage

Proven technology

We have validated our devices in independent pilot and clinical trials with more than 500 participants.

World-class collaborations

We partner with leading institutions such as Harvard Medical School, the U.S. Veterans Affairs, the University of Toronto, and the University of Alberta.

Certified Quality

We support clinical studies worldwide in brain wellness, cognitive performance, and neurological health.

Innovation leadership

We advance brain-focused devices with our patented Vie-LED® systems and hold more industry patents in neuromodulation and AI than any other company in the field.

Backed by research, proven in results

We are recognized globally for advancing research in Traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Autism, PTSD, Long Covid, Immunity, Upper respiratory viral recovery, Mild cognitive impairment, Neuromodulation, Cognitive creativity, and Cellular enhancement.

We are the first and still the only commercial brain photobiomodulation company with published research on traumatic brain injury, neuromodulation, and cognitive creativity.

Vielight, leading in LED technology

The PBM Foundation commissioned MegaLab and Optronic Lab to conduct separate tests benchmarking the Vielight Neuro against the Suyzeko and Neuronic helmets.

Previous Vielight Neuro models delivered 200-300% of peak natural sunlight’s irradiance, while tested photobiomodulation helmets averaged less than 9%. The new Vielight Neuro Pro 2 pushes even further, reaching 400% irradiance for unmatched power.

The Vielight advantage: Redefining photobiomodulation

About our research team

Vielight’s research is led by a multidisciplinary team of neuroscientists, photonics engineers, and over seven PhDs with more than a decade of experience.

Dr. Lew Lim

Founder & CEO

He is widely recognized as an expert on photobiomodulation (PBM), particularly in its application for brain functions and the effect on the immune system. He owns the largest number of worldwide issued and pending patents related to PBM as an individual.

Dr. Genane Loheswaran

Research Manager and Neuroscientist

Gena manages Vielight’s research projects with various organizations for cognitive science, such as combining photobiomodulation with EEG. Gena is passionate about neuroscience and a strong believer in the potential of photobiomodulation for improving mental acuity and Brain wellness.

Dr. Nazanin Hosseinkhah

Research Manager and Physicist

Naz manages brain imaging research projects with photobiomodulation in collaboration with major research organizations, such as the University of Alberta and Baycrest Hospital. Given her background in biophysics, Naz’s passion aligns with Vielight’s goal of discovering how light energy could be used optimally to positively impact human physiology.

Dr. Mahroo Karimpoor

Research Scientist

Mahroo is investigating the potential beneficial effects of photobiomodulation in elderly cognition and brain aging. She also researches the effects of photobiomodulation on neuro-oscillations. Her interest in tissue engineering has lead her to find ways on how light energy could affect cellular mechanisms.

Dr. Janine Liburd

Clinical Trial Manager and Scientist

Janine has been a part of Vielight since its founding. Presently, she manages and handles Vielight’s pivotal Alzheimer’s disease clinical trial – including protocol planning, recruitment and operations. Janine utilizes her decade-long experience in the field of photobiomodulation to help further discoveries.

Accelerating traumatic brain injury recovery

At Vielight, we’ve made significant advances in traumatic brain injury research with our devices, such as the Neuro. Our studies show that these treatments effectively improve brain function, cognition, mood, reaction time, and physical strength in individuals with mild TBI, repetitive head impacts, and chronic conditions like traumatic encephalopathy. By incorporating our devices into your practice, you can offer your patients a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that enhances brain connectivity, reduces symptoms, and accelerates recovery.
