The Future of Sports: Dr Lew Lim of Vielight On The New Emerging Technologies That Are Disrupting The World Of Sports

July 21, 2025/in News/by PBM Foundation

Abstract

New technologies have changed the way we engage in and watch sports. Sensors, Wearable Tech, Video Assistant Referees (VAR), and Instant Replay, are examples of new technologies that have changed the way we play and watch sports. In this interview series called, “The Future of Sports; New Emerging Technologies That Are Disrupting The World Of Sports,” we are talking to sports leaders, athletes, sports tech experts, and sports equipment companies who can talk about the new technologies that are reshaping the sports world. As a part of this interview, we had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Lew Lim.

A Multi-Modal Integrative Neuro-Rehabilitation Protocol for Severe Neuro-Psychiatric Decompensation in Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Case StudyNovember 6, 2026 - 1:29 pm
Abstract Background & Hypothesis Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presenting with severe, recurrent neuro-psychiatric decompensation often involves complex multi-system physiological impairments—including cellular membrane lipid dysregulation, altered cranial-dural biomechanics, compromised cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and impaired cerebral perfusion. We hypothesized that targeted biochemical optimization combined with structural neuro-biomechanical correction and non-invasive neuromodulation would synergistically resolve underlying physiological […]

Abstract The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2026 is awarded for optogenetics — a method that makes it possible to show how nerve cells shape memories, feelings and behaviours in the living brain. Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel discovered a remarkable protein, channelrhodopsin, in a single-celled alga. Karl Deisseroth transformed the protein into a […]
Can red-light therapy treat brain injuries? Some research shows ‘striking’ resultsSeptember 11, 2026 - 10:12 am
Abstract Larry Carr and his wife, Laurie, got into a terrible fight. It was 2010. He remembers that he yelled and yelled. She left, trying to gather her own emotions. Alone with his thoughts, Carr felt he had reached a bottomless abyss. “Broken,” he says. No one understood what was happening to him. Out of […]
Improvements in Resting-State Functional Connectivity of the Cerebellum after Transcranial Photobiomodulation in Adults with a History of Repetitive Head Acceleration EventsSeptember 10, 2026 - 9:23 am
Abstract Objective The current study sought to explore the impact of a novel noninvasive treatment called transcranial photobiomodulation (PBM) on resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of the cerebellum in individuals with a history of repetitive head acceleration events (RHAEs). Background RHAEs are associated with cumulative neurological compromise, including chronic alterations in rsFC; however, few treatments have […]
The surprising benefits of red lightJuly 28, 2026 - 10:00 am
Abstract Oozing mouth ulcers are one of the many possible side-effects of radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer. The ulcers make it hard for patients to eat, worsening their suffering. Some must be fed by tube. A new way of treating these ulcers could brighten the future, however: light-emitting diodes (LEDs) tuned to the red […]

Former BYU, NFL greats have their brains examined, results positiveMay 31, 2026 - 2:31 pm
Abstract To the growing list of former football players who have participated in a clinical trial testing the viability of photobiomodulation, or infrared light treatment, to enhance brain health, add the names of Tom Holmoe, the recently retired BYU athletic director who played at BYU and won three Super Bowl rings playing for the San […]
The Surprising Science Behind Red-Light Therapy — and How it Really WorksMarch 25, 2026 - 10:00 am
Abstract People are buying helmets, face masks, vests and beds that emit long-wavelength light. Beneath the hype, there is some interesting biology. In 2021, dermatologist David Ozog was on holiday with his family in the Bahamas, when his 18-year-old son had a massive stroke. The teenager was airlifted to Florida, and then to Chicago for […]
