Pat Phelan's Limbo to seek deal with Abbott after legal action launched

Abbott's Ireland-based Lingo Sensing Technology initiated the London action against Vitals in View companies based in Ireland, the UK and the United States. Vitals in View are the firms behind the Limbo business. The dispute relates to trademarks and alleged passing-off, according to court filings. 'Limbo has recently experienced massive international growth, and we have a deal agreed with Abbott/Lingo to amicably resolve and address any issues, that works for all parties,' Limbo chief executive and co-founder Rurik Bradbury told the Irish Independent. 'We'll announce more details of our plans and success in international expansion in the coming weeks,' he added. He said he expects the legal action to be struck out pending a resolution to the spat. Customers who sign up for the Limbo weight loss plan wear a continuous glucose monitor that's linked to an app on their phone. It's designed to assist customers with dietary changes that will help them to shed weight. It expects those using its system to lose between 3kg and 5kg in a month. It charges €199 a month for the system, or the equivalent of €149 a month or €99 a month if consumers purchase a six-month and 12-month plan respectively. Limbo started as VIV (Vitals in View) and later changed its name to Limbo in 2022. Headquartered in New York, Limbo has a research centre in Cork. Last year, Abbott launched what it said was the first ever consumer-focused 'biowearable' Lingo product. 'Lingo tracks glucose spikes and dips in real time and provides personalised insights and customised coaching, helping people implement healthier habits and pursue better sleep, mood, focus, energy and fewer unpredictable cravings,' it said. ADVERTISEMENT Abbott added that its scientists had spent more than two decades researching continuous glucose monitors. A spokesman for Abbott did not respond to requests for comment regarding the litigation against Mr Phelan's firms. Co-founded by Mr Phelan, Limbo's other co-founder is Tony Martin, a physiologist and coach. In 2022, the company raised an initial €6m in funding in a round led by Hoxton Ventures. The fundraising was also backed by US ex-basketball star Shaquille O'Neal, Irish rugby player Jamie Heaslip and former Apple senior executive Rory Sexton. This year, the company has embarked on a $12m fundraising round and anticipates having $80m in annual sales by 2027.

All-Berklee Production Powers Emilia Vaughn's 'Limbo,' A Collaboration with Matt Rollings

'Limbo' is a raw, emotional journey through self-doubt and healing, crafted with Berklee talent and brought to life by Grammy-winner Matt Rollings. Listen Now. 'The combination of her hauntingly beautiful and vulnerable vocal performance, killer guitar playing and 'way beyond her years' songwriting made my job incredibly easy.'— Matt Rollings BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, June 6, 2025 / / -- Rising alternative pop artist Emilia Vaughn announces the release of her haunting and emotionally rich new single, " Limbo,' available everywhere on June 6, 2025. The Berklee production will be released under Emilia Vaughn Entertainment and Media Group LLC // DNT Entertainment and distributed globally by The Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment. Produced and arranged by the legendary Matt Rollings, a Grammy-winning producer, artist, and pianist, 'Limbo' is more than just a song; it's a journal entry frozen in melody. With dreamy textures, understated guitar lines, and raw vocal delivery, Vaughn explores the quiet chaos of emotional stasis: the fear of moving forward, the ache of looking back, and the soft hope of finding direction again. Inspired by a season of introspection and creative hesitation, Vaughn penned 'Limbo' during a time when her confidence as an artist was wavering. Serendipitously, during a workshop at Berklee College of Music where Rollings was serving as a visiting artist in residence, he discovered and selected 'Limbo' as a focus track for his production class. This moment of affirmation marked a creative turning point for Vaughn, bringing new life to a song that had almost ironically stayed in limbo. 'While writing this song, I was deeply feeling the uncertainty of being in limbo with my artistry,' Vaughn reflects. 'In a beautiful twist of fate, the incredible artist Matt Rollings selected it for his production class. That experience brought the song to life. It felt like the sign I was waiting for, some steps in my yellow brick road.' Recorded across multiple studios, including The Ark Studio and Shames Studio at Berklee College of Music, and The Woodshop in Trinidad, CA, 'Limbo' boasts contributions from a talented roster of live musicians. Vaughn's acoustic guitar and vocal performance are backed by lush instrumentation: live drums and percussion from Otto Cook Sharp, piano by Michael Donovan, bass from Noam Bushkanitz, electric guitar by Andre Correa, and Rollings himself on glockenspiel and keyboards. The track was mixed by Adam Schwartz and Matt Rollings, and mastered by Jake Arnowitz. 'When I started my Production Workshop at Berklee, I was unprepared to encounter a talent like Emilia. The combination of her hauntingly beautiful and vulnerable vocal performance, killer guitar playing and 'way beyond her years' songwriting made my job incredibly easy. The student musicians and engineers all brought their A++ game as well, and we cut the track on Emilia's 21st birthday! I'm really proud of what we all made together….. " - Matt Rollings A true reflection of Emilia's commitment to artistry and mental health advocacy, 'Limbo' invites listeners into a space of vulnerability, healing, and hope. With its evocative lyricism, 'I just don't know how to get back home,' the song gives voice to the often-unspoken truth of feeling stuck, yet still searching.
