Developer of Medical Rehabilitation Robots

In China's billion-dollar rehabilitation market, a dark horse is galloping, breaking down the barriers between professional in-hospital rehabilitation and long-term out-of-hospital management.


Rehabilitation spans the entire human life cycle and directly determines the recovery of a patient's physical functions. Particularly for patients with conditions such as stroke or fractures, timely and professional rehabilitation treatment is crucial. In recent years, with the aggravation of population aging, the demand for rehabilitation has grown rapidly. At the national level, efforts are actively underway to promote a three-tier rehabilitation medical service system. The settings for rehabilitation treatment have gradually expanded from mainly being in the rehabilitation departments of tertiary hospitals to include secondary rehabilitation specialty hospitals and community health service institutions. Meanwhile, constrained by shortages of medical resources and insufficient numbers of rehabilitation therapists, out-of-hospital rehabilitation has become a focal point, but there remains a lack of professional home-use rehabilitation devices.

 

Traditional large-scale rehabilitation equipment can no longer meet the application needs of multi-scenarios.The introduction of advanced technologies such as soft robotics and brain-computer interfaces has transformed traditional passive rehabilitation into intelligent, active rehabilitation therapy. Moreover, in the increasingly competitive rehabilitation market, these high-end fields remain a blue ocean, awaiting pioneers to explore.Among them, SIYI INTELLIGENCE has taken the lead. The company is committed to building a full-cycle intelligent rehabilitation system covering "hospital-community-family," and has launched a new generation of upper limb rehabilitation robots that are lighter and easier to use, as well as the world's first brain-computer interface soft rehabilitation robot.

This is currentlyThe Lightest and Most Portable Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot in China, the First to Use Optical Positioning, Suitable for Multi-Scenario Applications Including Hospitals, Communities, and Homes;"Yisheng Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Rehabilitation Training and Assessment System" won two of the world's top design awards, Red Dot and iF.The first and currently the only brain-computer interface hand function rehabilitation robot product in China with a medical device registration certificate.


World's First, Pioneering Mass Production: Brain-Computer Interface Robot Achieves "Top-Down" Neural Remodeling

 

Brain-computer interface technology offers patients a completely new mode of active rehabilitation training. It establishes an information pathway between the patient's brain and external devices, enabling control of external devices such as robotic arms through neural feedback, thereby achieving "top-down" neural remodeling. Brain-computer interface technology overturns traditional passive rehabilitation models, truly engaging the proactive thinking of patients.


Several giants at home and abroad are exploring the application of brain-computer interface technology in different fields, but there are few projects that have been implemented. Even fewer are used in the rehabilitation field and achieve mass production. In addition to technical barriers such as neural signal processing and setting the bandwidth of brain-computer interfaces, the design and safety of brain-computer interface devices also affect their clinical applicability.SIYI INTELLIGENCE's YiSheng Brain-Computer Interface Rehabilitation Training and Assessment System is the first brain-computer interface soft hand function rehabilitation robot in China to obtain a medical device registration certificate and achieve clinical implementation.

Imbalance in Supply and Demand for Rehabilitation Therapy, SIYI INTELLIGENCE Enhances Global Rehabilitation Accessibility with Consumer-Grade Professional Robots


Under the Trend of Aging, There Is a Huge Demand for Rehabilitation Therapy in China and Even Globally Waiting to Be Met. According to statistics from The Lancet, more than 2.41 billion people worldwide may benefit from rehabilitation therapy during illness or injury. China has the largest rehabilitation demand globally, with the total number of people in need of rehabilitation reaching 460 million in 2019. However, issues such as insufficient public awareness of rehabilitation, a shortage of rehabilitation therapists, and a lack of rehabilitation equipment have led to a currently low rate of rehabilitation therapy.

 

The emergence of intelligent rehabilitation equipment such as rehabilitation robots has, to a certain extent, addressed the imbalance between supply and demand in rehabilitation treatment. Among these, soft robotics represents a significant direction in the development of rehabilitation robots, offering multiple degrees of freedom with a simple structure; however, they are still some way from large-scale commercial application. At the same time, the concept of full-life-cycle rehabilitation therapy has been repeatedly emphasized at the national level, making consumer-grade robots that cover out-of-hospital applications an important developmental direction.

 

SIYI INTELLIGENCE, while breaking through cutting-edge technologies such as soft robotics and brain-computer interfaces, also considers the practical application of rehabilitation robots.Product Positioning: "Professional Rehabilitation Robot for Consumer Use", improving the efficiency and accessibility of patient rehabilitation throughout their entire life cycle. The company's two core products, the "Yisheng Brain-Computer Interface Rehabilitation Training and Evaluation System" and the "Yisheng Upper Limb Intelligent Rehabilitation Training and Evaluation System," are important manifestations of its development philosophy. They will drive SIYI INTELLIGENCE to accelerate coverage of both in-hospital and out-of-hospital rehabilitation markets, creating a more comprehensive solution for full life cycle rehabilitation systems.

 

It is on the basis of innovative technologies and differentiated products that SIYI INTELLIGENCE has successfully gone global, exporting Chinese wisdom to various parts of the world. The company's brand, Syrebo®, has been adopted by several well-known overseas medical institutions, including the Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital in the UK, Hobbs Rehabilitation Center (the largest community rehabilitation chain center in the UK), Homerton University Hospital, Manoos Brescia Rehabilitation Center in Italy, and the Ural Neurorehabilitation Center in Russia.

 

In August, Prof. Dr. C. Gutenbrunner FRCP, former Dean/Chief/Director of the Rehabilitation Hospital at Hannover Medical School, WHO Liaison Officer for Rehabilitation Medicine, and Founder & Executive Director of the WHO Global Rehabilitation Alliance, led a delegation to visit SIYI INTELLIGENCE. He highly praised the company's Brain-Computer Interface Rehabilitation Training and Assessment System, stating that the "product concept is ingenious and the R&D technology is advanced."
