On November 16-18, the second Conference of "Belt and Road" Medical Device Innovation and Application was held in Shanghai. The blockbuster new product—the brain control hand function reabilitação training & evaluation SY-HR08P, developed by Siyi Intelligence, officially debuted. This is thefirst brain-computer software hand function robô de reabilitação in the world.
At present, the Syrebo™ hand robô de reabilitação has come into use in more than 80 countries around the world. This SY-HR08P EEG version can monitor the brain signals of patients and analyze these signals to determine the intention of the affected hand. The signal is converted into the movement of the exoesqueleto manipulator, so that the hemiplegic hand can restore the motor function, and the paciente can participate in active reabilitação training 100%, and speed up the nerve reabilitação.
The theme of this conference is "Make concerted innovative efforts. Jointly safeguard the human health, Co-build the shared community for medical devices". Hundreds of member representatives from 20 countries (regions) of the "One Belt One Road" Medical Device Innovation and Application Alliance actively participated in this annual industry event, and more than 300 representatives of industry organizations attended the meeting.

At the conference, Xu Zhaohong, Director of Siyi Intelligence R&D, officially announced that after a long period of time, the brain control hand function reabilitação training & evaluation SY-HR08P, was finally launched.
This product was jointly created by Siyi Intelligence, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. It is a typical case of industry-university-research-medicine cooperation.
"The research and development results of the brain control hand function reabilitação training & evaluation SY-HR08P are of milestone significance for the development of reabilitação medicine and reabilitação intelligent equipment. With the interface cérebro-computador technology, the robô de reabilitação is like being plugged in with a pair of wings, and its strength is greatly increased." Xu Zhaohong said.
At present, what most reabilitação robots do is to continuously allow the muscles of the local body to recover to a normal state through exercício training, and then feed the normal motion signals back to the brain through the central nervous system to speed up the process of brain remodeling. However, this kind of "bottom-up" stimulation obviously has a longer period, and the therapeutic effect is also unsatisfactory. Is it possible to directly stimulate the brain to complete the "top-down" neural remodeling? interface cérebro-computador is one of the solutions.
The so-called interface cérebro-computador is to connect and communicate between the human brain and the machine. The interface cérebro-computador can "know" what you are thinking by analyzing brain waves; and then help you command the machine to perform reabilitação training on the paciente. In such repeated training, an effective connection can be gradually established between the brain and the affected body to achieve the purpose of restoring normal physiological functions.
The first step in establishing a interface cérebro-computador is to capture brain motion and imagination signals and analyze the thought data so that the machine "knows" the instructions of the brain. SY-HR08P’s EEG helmet has many electrodes, which can read and recognize the user’s brain waves, including when to try to move and control the arm. Then, the EEG helmet translates these signals and sends them to the host device; the host receives the instructions, and the exoesqueleto manipulator (soft glove) will help the limbs to move according to the brain's intentions to achieve functions such as stretching, gripping, and grasping. Through brain-controlled reabilitação training, the paciente's active movement awareness can be stimulated, and the "perception-control" two-way closed-loop nerve stimulation can be realized to reshape the paciente's nerve pathway, and significantly improve the reabilitação effect.
The brain control hand function robô de reabilitação SY-HR08P is composed of two core devices, namely an EEG helmet and an exoesqueleto manipulator. Both adopt a wearable design concept and are comfortable to wear and easy to operate.
It is reported that SY-HR08P provides patients with an artificial intelligent EEG control reabilitação training system, which includes multiple training modes such as motor imagination analysis, cognitive training, passive training, power-assisted training, two-hand mirroring, voice control, intelligent evaluation active games, etc., and realizes terapia de espelho, task-oriented training, multi-sensory stimulation, etc.
In recent years, the field of medical reabilitação has become more and more inclined to the natural and precise interaction between humans and machines. Technological breakthroughs represented by human-computer interaction (interface cérebro-computador, electromyography technology) have made the integration between humans and machines more and more tight. The two have complementary advantages and work in coordination, and will give birth to major theoretical innovations and technological breakthroughs in medical reabilitação.
