Fourier Intelligence established its globalization strategy from the very beginning.To date, Fourier Intelligence has obtained medical device certifications in multiple countries, primarily including the U.S. FDA, EU CE, China NMPA, Australia TGA, and Singapore HSA. Through its global strategic layout, it is leading the development and progress of the global rehabilitation industry.

In addition, Fourier Intelligence, dedicated to technological innovation, has extensively engaged in global research on rehabilitation robotics. Currently, Fourier Intelligence has established joint laboratories with the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (ranked No. 1 in the United States), the University of Melbourne in Australia, and ETH Zurich in Switzerland. It has also signed strategic cooperation agreements with the KITE Research Institute at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute in Canada, the National University of Singapore, and Kobe University in Japan, to jointly conduct translational research in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, providing industry-leading products and innovative solutions.

Gu Jie, President of Fourier Intelligence Group, stated, “Twenty years ago, the vast majority of rehabilitation products in China were still at the stage of copying overseas technologies. Innovation primarily originated from abroad, while China mainly produced relatively low-end products. However, with advancements in domestic technology and the continuous accumulation of relevant experience, changes have been remarkably rapid in recent years. When foreign institutions collaborate with us, their primary consideration is not market access but R&D. The quality of China’s R&D teams is exceptionally high, and rapid product commercialization achieves greater efficiency only within China’s extensive R&D ecosystem. Today, the rehabilitation industry chain features R&D and innovation in China, Chinese cost structures, and world-class quality, with products exported to international markets. This positions China to lead the future global value chain in the rehabilitation sector.”

As one of the earliest Chinese rehabilitation robot brands to enter overseas markets, Fourier Intelligence has established a substantial market foundation abroad after years of dedicated development, successfully positioning itself among the global leaders in the rehabilitation sector. Yet this is not the end goal. Looking ahead, Fourier Intelligence will continue to accelerate its global market expansion, striving to provide more overseas patients with higher-quality rehabilitation therapy and allowing them to deeply appreciate the advancements in quality and technology achieved by Chinese rehabilitation brands.

According to the report “Rehabilitation Medical Trends Lead a New Blue Ocean” released by KPMG, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of China’s rehabilitation medical industry market size is projected to reach 20.9% from 2020 to 2025, with the market size exceeding RMB 200 billion by 2025. Data indicate that the population requiring rehabilitation services accounts for approximately 15% of the total population, including the elderly, patients with chronic diseases, persons with disabilities, individuals with postoperative functional impairments, women with postpartum functional impairments, and patients with critical illnesses. The key demographic in need of rehabilitation medical services in China numbers around 100 million people.

Measured by any data dimension, the domestic rehabilitation market is poised for a major boom in the future; however, it must be acknowledged that every step forward in the field of rehabilitation faces numerous challenges.First, there is a severe shortage of rehabilitation medical resources in China., a systematic, comprehensive, and adequate rehabilitation medical service delivery system has yet to be established; there is already a talent shortfall of 300,000 rehabilitation therapists alone;Secondly, the efficiency of rehabilitation therapy is low., at the current stage, rehabilitation therapy is highly labor-intensive, making it difficult to improve overall efficiency and quality of care;Finally, there is a lack of public awareness regarding rehabilitation., many people lack understanding of and fail to prioritize post-discharge rehabilitation, opting instead to “rest at home” after receiving acute-phase treatment in hospitals, which has, to some extent, hindered the development of the rehabilitation medical sector in China.

Despite numerous challenges, solutions do exist. To address this series of difficulties and contradictions, Fourier Intelligence has launched the “Intelligent Rehabilitation Port,” a one-stop solution centered on rehabilitation robots. This initiative aims to fundamentally transform the supply model, seize the opportunity to deconstruct and reshape rehabilitation service models, and establish Fourier Intelligence as a leader and game-changer in the rehabilitation industry.

Smart Rehabilitation Hub

Specifically, the “Smart Rehabilitation Hub” will focus its efforts on three core components.1. Break Through the Bottleneck of Personnel Efficiency, in intelligent training scenarios, a therapist can lead multiple patients in simultaneous rehabilitation exercises with robotic assistance, significantly enhancing patient compliance and treatment efficiency;2. Restructuring cost structures to lower the barrier to adoption, thanks to technological innovation, the modularization of core components has not only significantly lowered the procurement threshold for B-side clients but also continuously enhanced the feasibility of C-side applications;3. Intelligent Rehabilitation Prescriptions Enhance Rehabilitation CapabilitiesBy leveraging a shared software and hardware platform to collect training data from intelligent rehabilitation robots, constructing deep learning networks, and integrating them with recommendation engines, we ultimately generate intelligent rehabilitation prescription recommendations, significantly enhancing both quality and efficiency.

Gu Jie, President of Fourier Intelligence Group, told VCBeat, “Technological innovation is the ‘foundation’ for the nation’s future development, and this holds true for enterprises as well. The rehabilitation robotics sector is currently experiencing rapid growth and substantial market demand; therefore, it is even more critical to leverage cutting-edge technological means to genuinely address societal and livelihood issues. This will not only help patients receive higher-quality, more efficient rehabilitation treatment, but also effectively enhance the service capabilities of China’s rehabilitation medical institutions, embed the concept of rehabilitation deeply in public consciousness, and thereby drive the continuous advancement of China’s rehabilitation industry.”

The corporate vision of Fourier Intelligence is“Making Rehabilitation Accessible to All Through Intelligent Technology”In Gu Jiechang’s envisioned future, rehabilitation will become increasingly accessible and is poised to reach the general public. “Rehabilitation services can be enjoyed at elderly care institutions and within communities, and rehabilitation training can even be conducted at home.”

Gu Jie stated, “Fourier Intelligence has been committed to technological innovation in the field of rehabilitation. Through substantial R&D investment, we have continuously updated and iterated core rehabilitation technologies. This has enabled us to significantly reduce the cost of rehabilitation robots—previously affordable only by large institutions—while continually enhancing their performance, thereby making smarter and more efficient rehabilitation medical equipment truly accessible to grassroots healthcare providers and serving local communities.”

Looking to the future, Gu Jie candidly stated that Fourier Intelligence will leverage intelligent technologies to help hundreds of thousands of rehabilitation institutions enhance their service capabilities, thereby benefiting hundreds of millions of elderly individuals and tens of millions of patients with injuries or illnesses.
