On November 28, Sunnyou Medical and Foshan Second People's Hospital held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony at the hospital’s Lvdao Lake campus, officially inaugurating the Foshan Non-Invasive Brain-Computer Interface Neuromodulation Rehabilitation Treatment and Clinical Research Transformation Center!

The implementation of this innovative platform will inject strong momentum into the high-end development of Foshan's rehabilitation medical industry, allowing patients with neurological disorders such as stroke and spinal cord injuries to experience cutting-edge rehabilitation technologies right in their local area.

Fourth-Level Researcher of Foshan Municipal Health CommissionCheng Licai、Foshan Second People's Hospital Party Committee SecretaryZhang Weiwei, Vice PresidentZhang Wu, Chairman of Sunnyou MedicalHe YongzhengAnd the relevant leaders and clinical backbone of both parties witnessed the signing.

"Black Technology" Without Craniotomy:

Mind-Controlled Rehabilitation Training

It is reported that,Foshan Second People's Hospital (hereinafter referred to as "Foshan Second Hospital") has equipped with a series of advanced equipment such as Sunnyou's brain-computer interface - active and passive rehabilitation training device for upper and lower limbs, brain-computer interface - electrical stimulation device for swallowing nerves and muscles, brain-computer interface - electromyographic biofeedback treatment system for neurological rehabilitation. These devices have currently entered the clinical application stage and officially provide services to patients.。

"Before, I couldn't even swallow saliva, but now (with the brain-computer interface), I just think about it and I can swallow. The saliva goes down smoothly without choking or being aspirated into the lungs, which prevents pneumonia and fever, and I no longer drool all day." Uncle Tan, a patient with swallowing difficulties, became the "first to try" and was very excited after the experience.

Director of the Rehabilitation Department, Foshan No. 2 HospitalYe HuiminIntroduction: The non-invasive brain-computer interface device introduced by the hospital this time is known as the "black technology" in rehabilitation medicine — no surgery is required. By simply wearing a lightweight device with electrodes on the scalp, it can accurately capture electrical signals sent by the brain. These signals are then "translated" into commands through specialized technology, allowing rehabilitation equipment to respond precisely to the patient’s "intentions." For example, for stroke patients who cannot move their limbs, the brain-computer interface device can instantly "interpret" the brain's intention to move and drive the limb rehabilitation device to assist in movement, strengthening the neural connection between the brain and limbs, and helping to gradually restore voluntary motor function. For paralyzed patients due to spinal cord injuries, the technology bypasses the damaged spinal cord, enabling direct "communication" between the brain and lower limb rehabilitation devices, assisting patients in slowly learning to control body posture and attempt movement.

"More excitingly, with the advancement of technology, patients in the future are expected to control wheelchairs and prosthetics solely through their thoughts, performing delicate tasks such as buttoning clothes and picking up cups, truly achieving 'move as you wish.'"Chairman of Sunnyou MedicalHe YongzhengIndicates that, combined with artificial intelligence and big data,Sunnyou Medical to Collaborate with Foshan No. 2 Hospital on Joint Construction，HelpPatientFrom Passive Rehabilitation to Active Rehabilitation`, allowing rehabilitation treatment to告别 "experience摸索" and become precise and efficient`。“"Rehabilitation used to rely entirely on doctors teaching hand-in-hand and machines passively guiding, but now just by 'thinking,' patients can make the equipment move, making them feel like they’ve regained control of their bodies!" he said.

"Brain-computer interface technology, as a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of neurorehabilitation, brings hope of a new lease on life to patients with neurological dysfunctions such as stroke and spinal cord injury." Li Shengde, Party Secretary of Foshan No. 2 HospitalZhang WeiweiIt was pointed out that brain-computer interface technology, through the direct connection between the brain and external devices, has realized the precision and personalization of rehabilitation treatment, which is a perfect integration of technological innovation and humanistic care.

Integration of Medicine and Engineering Strengthens Capabilities

Promote the High-Quality Development of Rehabilitation Medicine

As a century-old comprehensive hospital in Foshan, the Second People's Hospital of Foshan has deep expertise in the field of clinical rehabilitation, with a professional medical team, extensive patient resources, and a solid foundation in clinical research.Party Secretary of Foshan No. 2 HospitalZhang WeiweiSunnyou, which is at the leading position in the brain-computer interface equipment R&D field,Through the complete closed loop of "clinical demand leadership - technical R&D support - industrial application implementation," cutting-edge technologies will be rapidly advanced from the laboratory to the clinical front line.。

Director of the Rehabilitation Department, Foshan No. 2 HospitalYe HuiminIntroduction: After the establishment of the Brain-Computer Interface Neuroregulation Rehabilitation Treatment and Clinical Research Transformation Center,The hospital will also establish a professional clinical research team to screen eligible patients for standardized treatment, build a comprehensive case database, and provide solid clinical data support for equipment optimization and treatment plan upgrades.. At the same time,Both parties will jointly carry out scientific research, apply for research projects, and cultivate interdisciplinary talents in medical engineering.Continuously enhance technological innovation capabilities to fill the gap in Foshan's cutting-edge neurorehabilitation technology field.

Fourth-level Researcher of Foshan Municipal Health CommissionCheng LicaiThe strategic cooperation between the Second Municipal Hospital and Sunnyou not only enables more patients to benefit from cutting-edge technology but also injects new momentum into the development of Foshan's rehabilitation medical industry through technology transfer, result implementation, and talent cultivation. In the future, with the continuous emergence of research results from the center and the widespread promotion of technology, the biomedicine and health industry ecosystem in Foshan will be further improved, the technical level of the industry will be enhanced, contributing to Foshan's goal of becoming a regional medical highland, and providing citizens with higher quality and more advanced healthcare services.

As a frontier track in medical technology, the development level of brain-computer interface technology is an important manifestation of the core competitiveness of regional biomedicine and health industries. The establishment of Foshan City's Non-Invasive Brain-Computer Interface Rehabilitation Center provides a vivid practice for the innovative model of "medical-engineering integration."
