Philosophy:
Harry T. Whelan/ MD/ Bleser Family Endowed Chair in Neurology/ ChildrenâÂÂs Hospital of Wisconsin/ professor of Neurology (Pediatrics)/ and director of the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit/ The Medical College/ has been inducted into the NASA Space Technology Hall of Fame for his research into the use of near-infrared LEDs for wound healing and the treatment of brain tumors and neurofibromatosis. In a multiyear investigation approved by the Food and Drug Administration/ Dr. Whelan is studying the use of LEDs to promote healing of mucositis from chemotherapy and radiation used to treat cancer in children. Dr. Whelan found that diabetic skin ulcers and other wounds in mice healed much faster when exposed to the special LEDs in the lab. Near-infrared light stimulates improved energy metabolism in the mitochondria/ leading to treatment for mitochondrial diseases which affect the brain/ eye/ heart and muscle. Dr. Whelan also is funded by the National Institutes of Health in a study of neurodegenerative disease/ traumatic brain injury and other childhood traumas. He also is conducting a pilot study supported in part by the Clinical Translational Science Institute of near-infrared light therapy for diabetic macular edema/ a form of diabetic eye disease. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is funding his research in neurological ischemia/ traumatic brain injury (TBI)/ reperfusion and stroke/ which affects many children with congenital heart disease. Dr. Whelan presented this translational bench-to-bedside research to the United States Congress at the NASA Spin-off Day on Capitol Hill as an example of how space research is helping patients. Dr. Whelan holds the rank of Captain and is a Diving Medical Officer in the U.S. Navy/ a consultant to the Navy Experimental Diving Unit/ and serves as the Senior Undersea Medical Officer for the âÂÂDeep Submergence UnitâÂÂ/ with clinical and research experience in Hyperbaric Medicine/ wound care and combat casualty care. He has over 80 publications/ including cancer/ laser/ LED and diving/hyperbaric studies.

System And Method For Convergent Light Therapy Having Controllable Dosimetry
US Patent:
2008003, Feb 7, 2008
Filed:
Jul 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/829142
Inventors:
Harry Thomas Whelan - Whitefish Bay WI, US
Perry B. Whelan - Whitefish Bay WI, US
David P. Klemer - Whitefish Bay WI, US
Perry B. Whelan - Whitefish Bay WI, US
David P. Klemer - Whitefish Bay WI, US
International Classification:
A61N 5/06, A61B 18/18
US Classification:
606 11, 607 90
Abstract:
A system and method for providing a dose of irradiating light for a therapeutic process includes identifying an internal target area of a patient affected by a pathology and irradiating an externally accessible area of the patient proximate to the internal target area with a number of photons at least having wavelengths approximately within a near-infrared (IR) band. The method also includes receiving feedback from one of a spectrophotometer and a patient physiology monitoring system and adjusting the number of photons irradiating the externally accessible area of the patient. From the feedback, a determination is made to identify the number of photons needed to irradiate the externally accessible area of the patient to cause a change in biochemical state of cytochrome oxidase in the internal target area to a desired biochemical state of cytochrome oxidase in the internal target area.

US Classification:
607 88
Abstract:
Systems and methods for treating neurological disorders by light stimulation are disclosed herein. A brain neuroillumination system includes an implantable housing; a control unit carried by the implantable housing; a neuroillumination delivery device including at least one light emission site; at least one light source operatively coupled to the control unit and optically coupled to the at least one light emission site; and a near infrared spectroscopy unit coupled to the control unit, wherein the near infrared spectroscopy unit is configures to detect an optical signal corresponding to at least one from the group of a cytochrome oxidase state and a hemoglobin oxygenation state.
