is still a "familiar formula" of a showcase, two chairs, and a TV. This year's CIIE Innovation Incubation Zone Medical Area, the number of enterprises and innovation concentration have both increased. The reporter noticed at the scene that more than 60 first-class innovative achievements from the United States, France, Swiss , Israel, Singapore and other countries were introduced on the spot, and hot new technologies such as material engineering, gene technology , biosensing, AI deep learning, biological material can be found.
A "16-channel wireless muscle signal intelligent arm ring" composed of a mechanical bionic hand and an arm ring has become an internet celebrity in the medical area. In science fiction movies, the scenes of virtual people are controlled with their minds and reflected in reality on this small booth. Clench your fists, spread your hands, and make various gestures. After putting on the arm ring, after a few minutes of adaptation, the user can use his mind to manipulate the bionic hands in the distance to achieve "hands move as they like".
This product comes from Yingmai Medical, a small technology medical company established in 2020. algorithm engineer Wang Youhao told reporters that the working principle of intelligent arm-ring bionic hand is to collect the myoelectric signal of the human arm, and then "translate" the actions that adults want to do, and then transmit them to the intelligent bionic hand. "It can serve some amputation patients, collect their own electromyography signals, and use bionic hands to complete basic movements, which helps restore patients' independent living ability. It can also provide assistance for the rehabilitation medical treatment of patients with hemiplegia in , use smart arm rings to "detect" the movements the patients want to do, and then use auxiliary tools to perform rehabilitation training, which can effectively improve the treatment effect." Wang Youhao introduced.
In addition to medical purposes, smart arm rings can also enter the lives of more ordinary people, interpret what you think and have somatosensory interaction. For example, with a wave of hand, the PPT being demonstrated can automatically turn the page; with a wave of hand, the curtains can be opened and closed... In the eyes of Wang Youhao and the R&D team, as a tool for human-computer interaction, the intelligent arm ring can deeply connect people's consciousness and the computer world, and play a greater role in the metaverse. "Combined with the electromyography signal, it is not only a sensor for movement posture, but also a sensor that distinguishes the strength of different movements, making it more immersive."
Wang Youhao said that at present, this smart bracelet is in the 1.0 stage, and can achieve the technical standard of 16 channels of 2,000 Hz. Compared with the existing other bracelets, the number of channels increased by 10 times and the sampling rate increased by 16 times, which is equivalent to putting 16 sensors on the arm, which can capture and decode more refined hand movements. "The research and development of smart arm rings is still in its primary stage. With the continuous iteration of algorithms and the upgrading of bionic hand materials, it can make more complete and coherent complex actions in the future, and the scenarios of medical rehabilitation will be more diverse." The reporter of
noticed at the scene that innovative products in the field of medical beauty are also a hot topic in the medical area this year. The Sofwave ultrasound therapy device from Israel is a non-invasive skin tightening device. Its unique innovative technology can achieve trauma-free and recovery-free treatment effect while ensuring anti-aging effects. It has obtained US FDA certification .
It is worth noting that thanks to the spillover effect of the CIIE, this "anti-aging artifact" is very close to Chinese consumers. It turned out that the cross-border commercial platform for innovative medical devices, Hualang Dachang, had a "chemical reaction" with many innovative medical achievements in the innovation incubation zone last year, helping many overseas innovative small enterprises successfully link the large Chinese market. This year, Hualang Dachang joined hands with Israeli Sofwave Medical Ltd to participate in the exhibition. Hualang Dachang has officially started the registration process for the product in China's NMPA. This device is expected to become the first domestically approved ultrasonic medical beauty anti-aging product to be launched.
reporter learned from the CIIE Medical Devices Special Committee that last year’s Innovation Incubation Zone built a one-stop platform for accelerating entry into the Chinese market for 27 overseas cutting-edge innovative achievements. So far, 16 products are being contacted for China and 6 projects have been signed. Based on these experiences, this year, the innovation ecosystem integrating investment, counseling and policy will be fully opened to participating innovative enterprises, helping overseas medical innovative enterprises realize their dreams in China.
