Wuxi Seizes the $17B BCI Blue Ocean: Pioneering Full-Stack Innovations and Clinical Integration

(Source: Wuxi Daily)

Brain-computer interface refers to the establishment of an information channel between the brain and machines, achieving collaborative interaction between biological intelligence and machine intelligence. It is a cutting-edge technology in the integrated development of life sciences and information sciences. The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology predicts,By 2025, the market size of brain-computer interface in China is estimated to be approximately 3 billion yuan, and by 2030, it is expected to reach 12 billion yuan.。

In 2026, brain-computer interface was written into the government work report for the first time and identified as one of the six future industries to be developed. This technology, which enables direct "dialogue" between the brain and external devices, is now accelerating its application in diversified scenarios such as medical rehabilitation, health monitoring, and even daily life.

As an explorer at the forefront of the industry

Wuxi also actively plans.

Promoting Brain-Computer Interface from Technology to Application

In terms of independent research and development

January 6, 2026Nova High-Performance Implantable Neural Electrode ProjectSigned and settled in Wuxi High-tech Zone. This technology innovation enterprise, led by top teams from both within and outside China, not only brings its independently developed...Brain-Computer InterfaceFull-chain technology, with a greater ambition to“Mind Control”From the laboratory to the clinical front line,Bringing Hope of Recovery to Patients with Spinal Cord Injuries, Epilepsy, and More。

Nova Technology has currently formed"Three Electrodes + One Software"The complete technical pedigree builds up a full-chain technical closed loop that is scarce in China, featuring "independently produced electrode hardware + disruptive algorithms," providing a "one-stop" neuro-electrophysiological solution covering electrode design, signal acquisition, encoding translation, and application implementation.Successfully Mastered the Dual Discourse Power of Software and Hardware in the Core Field of Brain-Computer Interface。

More notably,The product achieves 100% self-research and development, 100% localized production in China, and can realize technological surpassing and domestic substitution of international similar products.

In terms of industrialization

Recently, brain-computer interface enterprisesSirrem Medical Announces Completion of Tens of Millions of Yuan in Financing, Exclusively Invested by Wuxi Liangxi Science and Innovation Industry Fund of Wuxi State-Owned Capital。In April this year, the company's headquarters base project officially began production in Liangxi District, Wuxi City.

It is reported that Sirrem, founded in 2019, is a company focusing on brain-computer interface flexible rehabilitation.RobotHigh-tech enterprises in the field.Sirrem Medical Layouts Full-Stack Brain-Computer Interface Technology, Builds Core Barriers。The company has more than 80 patents, and its products have passed three international certifications: NMPA, CE, and FDA. The technological maturity and compliance lead the industry. The company has built an open brain-computer platform that supports multi-protocol transmission and cross-device compatibility, achieving a full-process closed loop of "signal acquisition - intention recognition - rehabilitation intervention."

At the clinical application end

In January 2026, the Brain-Computer Interface Neuroregulation Joint Clinic of Wuxi People's Hospital officially opened, and the Brain-Computer Interface Clinical Research Ward was simultaneously put into operation, becomingThe First in Wuxi AreaAn integrated brain-computer interface technology and multi-disciplinary collaborative precision diagnosis and treatment platform,Bring New Hope for Treatment to Patients Long Troubled by Neurological Diseases。

The outpatient department adopts"One Registration, Multi-Disciplinary Consultation"The multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model allows patients to make appointments through the hospital's official WeChat account. They need to bring their previous medical records, imaging examination materials, and medication lists.

Coverage of Diagnosis and TreatmentSevere motor disorders, refractory neurological diseases, mental illnesses, communication disordersIncluding five major categories of conditions, multiple patients have been treated so far. After evaluation, some patients have been included in hospitalization treatment and rehabilitation training programs.

Shao Junfei, director of the Neurology Diagnosis and Treatment Center of the hospital, introduced that both the outpatient and inpatient departments are responding to the development and deployment of brain-computer interface industry as outlined in China's relevant strategic plans."Evaluation—Diagnosis—Treatment—Rehabilitation"Full-chain service system. "For patients with poor results from traditional treatment methods, they can obtainNon-invasive, minimally invasive, or brain-computerInterfaceApplication"Diversified intervention solutions." Shao Junfei particularly mentioned that currently availableClosed-loop Deep Brain Stimulation Therapyand other cutting-edge technologies, achieving precise neuromodulation for diseases such as Parkinson's disease, hemiplegia after stroke, and spinal cord injury.

From Lab to Bedside

Wuxi is accelerating the implementation of brain-computer interface technology.
