The human-computer interface-powered electric bed for rehabilitation has been selected for the 2026 Wuhan City Science and Technology Project for Assisting the Disabled and Promoting Innovation.
On August 12, 2026, the final presentation event of the 2026 Wuhan "Technology Assisting the Disabled - No Barrier for the Future" innovation project was successfully concluded. At this grand event focusing on the actual needs of the disabled and gathering cutting-edge technological forces, the "Brain-Computer Interface Electric Bed" project independently developed by Renla Rehabilitation, with its breakthrough technological innovation and profound humanistic care, stood out from numerous excellent proposals and successfully entered the "2026 Wuhan City Science and Technology Assisting the Disabled Innovation Promotion Project".
This selection focused on nine core areas including rehabilitation assistive devices, brain-computer interfaces, and AI big data, aiming to discover high-quality scientific and technological achievements that can truly solve the pain points of disabled people's lives. The inclusion of Renla Rehabilitation marked that its exploration in the field of intelligent rehabilitation had received dual recognition from industry authorities and representatives of disabled users.
Technology empowerment makes "What I think is what I control" a reality
For disabled patients with severe limb functional impairments caused by diseases such as stroke and spinal cord injury, long-term bed rest not only brings physical pain but also accompanies the loss of autonomy and the damage to dignity. Traditional electric beds mostly rely on remote controls or caregivers for operation, and patients themselves find it difficult to independently complete body position adjustments, which to some extent exacerbates their sense of powerlessness and reliance on care.
The birth of Renla Rehabilitation's brain-computer interface electric bed (BCI-RLRF306) was precisely to solve this core pain point. This system uses a wearable multimodal brain-computer interface headband as the signal collection end, building a full-process system without limb operation covering bed adjustment and rehabilitation training. Patients only need to move their heads and blink to independently complete a series of actions such as getting up from the bed, sitting up, lifting legs, and standing. Truly achieving "What I think is what I control", effectively enhancing the life autonomy of severely disabled patients.
In terms of clinical performance, the accuracy rate of this system is as high as 98.2±2.2%, the average response time is only 1.49±0.31 seconds, and the information transmission rate (ITR) can reach 133.5±36.1 bit/min. High-level technical indicators ensure that user intentions can be responded to quickly and accurately, greatly improving the operation smoothness and user confidence.
For severely disabled patients, the significance of being able to independently complete body position regulation goes far beyond the improvement of comfort. Regular body position changes are crucial for preventing pressure ulcers (bedsores), maintaining joint mobility, improving heart and lung function, and promoting blood circulation. The brain-computer interface electric bed enables patients to adjust their body positions at any time according to their own needs without the assistance of caregivers, which not only effectively reduces the risk of long-term bed rest complications but also psychologically reshapes patients' sense of control and dignity over their own lives. Previously, at the 2026 Academic Annual Conference of the Chinese Medical Association Rehabilitation Physicians, this product attracted the high attention and personal experience of authoritative rehabilitation medicine experts such as Professor Zhou Mouxiang and Professor Wang Chuhuai, and was considered to have extremely high clinical transformation potential in the fields of neurorehabilitation and critical rehabilitation.
This selection into the 2026 Wuhan City Science and Technology Assisting the Disabled Innovation Promotion Project is the government's recognition of Renla Rehabilitation. As a high-tech and specialized enterprise integrating research and development, production, and sales, Renla Rehabilitation always adheres to "People-oriented, carrying forward and innovating", and is committed to converting cutting-edge technologies into solutions that effectively improve patients' quality of life. In the future, the rehabilitation center will continue to deepen its cooperation with medical institutions and disability-related organizations, promoting innovative achievements such as brain-computer interface-powered electric beds to move from the "laboratory" to the homes of those in need of assistance more quickly and effectively. Through concrete actions, it will respond to the development call of the Wuhan Disabled Persons' Federation "Technology Empowers - Inclusive Future", and contribute to the high-quality development of the disability cause.
