Vielight Inc Enhancing cognitive performance with intranasal-transcranial photobiomodulation (itPBM) technology. Vielight Inc. was founded to commercialize the invention.

is leading the field of brain photobiomodulation (PBM) technology. We combine science with engineering ingenuity to develop devices that incorporate noninvasive methods of delivering the nurturing energy of red and near-infrared (NIR) light to the brain and the body. The Vielight story started in 1995, when Lew Lim and his colleagues at Silicon Valley invented intranasal photobiomodulation as a noninvasive method of delivering the therapeutic energy of red and NIR light into the human body. The research and development continued throughout the next decade before Vielight Inc. Officially incorporated in Canada in 2011, Vielight Inc. has since evolved into a formidable team of engineers, scientists and business professionals dedicated to making PBM technology accessible to as many people as possible. Vielight’s footprint currently covers North America, Europe, Australia and other markets. At the end of 2015, results from the initial pilot study conducted in collaboration with Harvard Medical School and Boston University School of Medicine warranted further investment and grants for bigger upcoming clinical trials approved by the FDA and Health Canada. Since then, the research and clinical trials designed to investigate our PBM devices for various applications are ongoing. Today Vielight produces a range of wearable PBM devices that employ our patented intranasal and transcranial PBM (tPBM) technologies. All Vielight PBM devices are classified as general wellness devices. In 2019 we announced the commencement of our pivotal-stage clinical trial where our Neuro RX Gamma tPBM device is investigated as a potential therapy for individuals with moderate to advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease. This important trial had to be postponed due to pandemic-related restrictions. We were able to restart the trial in 2021. Also, in 2021 we have announced the completion of our clinical trial where we investigated our Vielight RX Plus PBM device as a potential therapy for COVID-19. At the same time, researchers at the University of Utah have conducted an exploratory research where they studied the effects of our Neuro Gamma device on symptoms of traumatic brain injuries in retired pro-athletes from collision sports. A number of other studies investigating our devices are either ongoing or in the works. We always research new opportunities and expand our range of solutions. We collaborate with world-renowned research institutions in the field of photobiomodulation. Our goal is to combine the pioneering spirit with our passionate commitment to improving people’s lives by producing devices that help people.

Brain photobiomodulation is stepping into the mainstream spotlight 💡

Vielight founder and CEO Dr. Lew Lim recently joined the set at CBS News (8 News Now) in Las Vegas to discuss groundbreaking neuroimaging data and traumatic brain injury (TBI) research by the University of Utah, powered by the Vielight Neuro.

While awareness of light therapy is accelerating, the Vielight advantage comes down to engineering, precision, and IP 🧠

Vielight and Dr. Lim hold the industry’s most comprehensive patent portfolio in brain photobiomodulation, anchored by two critical pillars:

- Intranasal-transcranial PBM: Combining transcranial and intranasal photobiomodulation to deliver near-infrared (NIR) light to the top and bottom regions of the brain - creating an insurmountable advantage over transcranial-only devices.

- Intelligent Personalization: Proprietary algorithms and patent-protected technology for AI-based adaptive, and personalized photobiomodulation dosing.

Validating advanced neurotechnology requires both rigorous clinical data and proprietary innovation. Watch this space as we and our research partners continue pushing the boundaries of research and innovation.

In the heat of competition, training your brain to cut out the noise and enter the Alpha state can help make or break outcomes 🧠

The Vielight Neuro and Vagus helps improve mind-brain synchrony, so your neurons are firing in sync: keeping your reflexes sharp, your head clear, and your composure intact under pressure.

Your brain is always producing electrical rhythms, from calm alpha waves to focused beta activity. As part of our Vielight AI-EEG analysis platform - our 3D Brain Power Map shows where each rhythm is strongest by lighting up the brain's surface 🧠

Brighter areas mean more activity in that rhythm. Switch between rhythms, highlight only the most active regions, or focus on specific brain networks. You could view recordings from before and after PBM treatment side by side, or show only what changed. It turns complex EEG data into a map anyone can understand 💡

Real-time optical footage meets precision 3D modeling. Watch how the Neuro 4 delivers near-infrared (NIR) energy through the human skull.

Most transcranial systems barely reach their target; tissue scatters NIR light, and dense bone reflects it. The Neuro 4 solves this with a patented dual-pathway architecture: intranasal-transcranial photobiomodulation (itPBM).

➡️ Transcranial Coverage. Five custom Vie-LED modules, contoured to part hair on contact. They deliver an independently verified 300 mW/cm² at 810 nm directly into key nodes of the Default Mode Network.

➡️ Intranasal Pathway. A dedicated applicator that bypasses cranium, skin, and hair entirely. Utilizing the natural aperture of the cribriform plate, it channels targeted near-infrared photons straight into ventral brain regions.

Over 30 peer-reviewed publications. Explore the engineering behind the most researched technology for neuroplasticity, cognitive enhancement, and brain performance.

We're honored to share that The New York Times has covered groundbreaking TBI research involving advanced neuroimaging and Vielight technology.

In The Athletic (part of The New York Times), emerging research on itPBM and repetitive head impacts, built on exploratory findings published in the Journal of Neurotrauma. The investigational device in that study was the Vielight Neuro Gamma.

When an independent research team needed a rigorous, placebo-controllable itPBM system for a full Division I season, the instrument they reached for was one we designed and built in Toronto. That is what more than a decade of work on intranasal-transcranial PBM was for.

Congratulations and a huge thank you to the researchers from the University of Utah advancing neuroscience into a brighter future.

Most brain photobiomodulation devices are engineered backwards. We decided to have a little fun illustrating why.

Many helmets maximize LED count instead of optical pe*******on, which leads to a major problem: The brain is the most protected organ in the body. Scalp, skull, and fluid scatter photons before they reach target structures. If the irradiance drops below a strict biological threshold, the mitochondrial effect is completely lost.

73 years old. 204 arrows. Double gold 🥇 🥇

At the 2026 State Games of America, organizers merged two archery tournaments into a single 10 hour day. Anne Abernathy, 73, was the only archer who attempted both. She won both, and posted the highest recurve score of the day of any archer on the field, male or female.

Archery asks for exactly what people are told to expect less of with age: sustained attention, precise repetition, composure under pressure. Anne shot 204 arrows across 10 hours in the heat, and put five of her final six in the gold. Her score rose to 747, up from 735 at her last competition in 2025 🏹

“I would not have attempted a challenge of this magnitude without Vielight.” - Anne Abernathy

Aging well is the whole reason we build what we build. The Vielight Neuro has been part of Anne's daily routine through a year of rehabilitation and her return to competition. For this event: Alpha the evening before, Gamma the morning of.
