ABSTRACT
Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT), as we saw in this handbook,
is a truly multidisciplinary field, providing exciting researching
opportunities for physicians, health professionals, physicists, biol-
ogists, chemists, engineers, and practitioners. Here we have the final
chapter of a vast book, and we will accomplish the hard objective
of making predictions regarding science, which is historically well
known as an ambitious and inglorious task. However, we will be
allowed to open our minds to a broader spectrum of possibilities for
LLLT. Some areas of current activities offering possibilities for future
research are listed here. These topics have been selected based
partly on the author’s personal views and partly on the ongoing
projects in the Wellman Center for Photomedicine (courtesy of
Dr. Michael Hamblin). We will discuss LLLT education and training,
how photomedicine (particularly LLLT) can be positioned as a
branch of medicine, and possible impacts for health and wellness of
people and animals.
