Haimikang Intelligence develops brain-computer interfaces and lightweight exoskeleton systems that enable patients with hand movement disabilities due to neurological damage to regain functionality. By utilizing electromyographic signals from the forearm, users can control the exoskeleton to perform grasping and finger extension movements, facilitating rehabilitation.

Problem
Patients with hand movement disabilities resulting from brain or nerve damage face significant challenges in performing everyday tasks. Existing rehabilitation methods may not fully restore hand function, limiting independence and quality of life.
Solution
Haimikang Intelligence develops a lightweight, electromyography (EMG)-controlled exoskeleton system designed to restore hand function in patients with neurological damage. The "Brain-Hand Interaction" exoskeleton uses residual EMG signals from the forearm to enable users to control grasping and finger extension movements. This technology facilitates rehabilitation by providing assisted movement, potentially leading to functional recovery in some patients. The system integrates brain-computer interface (BCI) principles with human-machine interaction to create a micro-robotic system for hand rehabilitation.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients with hand movement disabilities due to stroke, spinal cord injury, or other neurological conditions, as well as rehabilitation centers and hospitals specializing in neurological rehabilitation.
Features
- Lightweight exoskeleton design for comfortable and extended use.
- Electromyography (EMG) signal processing for intuitive control based on forearm muscle activity.
- Real-time control of grasping and finger extension movements.
- Integration of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.
- Human-machine-electrical fusion technology for seamless interaction.
