This system uses computer vision and sensor technology to accurately evaluate the quality of movements during exercise, providing quantitative basis for rehabilitation training.
Dr. Hou Yu (Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) systematically elaborated on the formulation of exercise plans for cervical spondylosis patients in a special report, revealing the core value of scientific exercise intervention in the comprehensive treatment of cervical spondylosis through clinical empirical research, and providing quantifiable operational norms for clinical practice.
Dr. Xiao Haolin (Guilin University of Electronic Science and Technology) introduced “Non invasive Sweat Detection Technology and Its Application Research”, which provides new ideas for sports health monitoring by detecting biomarkers in sweat to evaluate human movement status and health level in real time.
Dr. Wu Ji (Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital) shared in the report “AI+Exercise Prescription Driving the Integration of Sports and Medicine” how to develop personalized exercise prescriptions for elderly patients through artificial intelligence technology. He combined clinical cases to demonstrate the innovative application of AI technology in the rehabilitation of elderly bone and joint diseases.
Professor Li Yongjin (Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) analyzed the “Research on Biomechanics based Intervention and Postoperative Rehabilitation of Lumbar Vertebral Diseases” from a biomechanical perspective and introduced the clinical application effects of characteristic rehabilitation techniques such as forward bending and rolling of the waist and supine soaring and straight leg kicking.
Professor Pan Liang (University of Electronic Science and Technology of China) presented “Flexible Electronics and Its Application in EMG prosthetic control”, showcasing the latest developments in flexible electronics technology. He emphasized the innovative application of high-sensitivity flexible sensors in electromyographic signal acquisition and prosthetic control, providing new technological solutions for the rehabilitation of disabled individuals.
Professor Huang Pinggao (Guilin University of Electronic Science and Technology) shared his research on key technologies and applications of wearable physiological signal acquisition and showcased his team’s breakthrough achievements in this field. The multimodal physiological signal acquisition system they developed can monitor multiple physiological indicators in real-time during exercise, providing solid data support for health management.
Mr. Gao Chao (Chairman of Runyi Taiyi) demonstrated the “AI Strong Muscle Fitness Skill” intelligent rehabilitation system on site. The system combines traditional Chinese medicine techniques with modern AI technology, and achieves precise evaluation and real-time correction of movements through electromyography visual bimodal analysis, providing innovative solutions for sports rehabilitation.
3、 Product experience and integration of industry, academia and research demonstrate innovative strength
During the conference, Runyi Taiyi Technology showcased its “AI Strong Muscle Fitness” intelligent rehabilitation system jointly developed with Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This system provides a full process solution from assessment, training to rehabilitation management for patients with chronic pain, postoperative rehabilitation, and sports injuries through high-precision physiological signal monitoring and artificial intelligence algorithms.
Experts highly praise the innovation and practicality of the system, believing that this product, which integrates traditional Chinese medicine techniques with modern AI technology, represents the future development direction of the sports and health field.
The intelligent rehabilitation system has the following core functions:
(1) Intelligent motion capture and multimodal evaluation
Using wireless electromyography devices to synchronously collect multi-channel muscle activity data, combined with visual technology to achieve motion posture reconstruction and accurately identify abnormal force states.
(2) Real time AI correction
The camera captures the user’s motion trajectory and compares it with a standard model for intelligent scoring. Combined with electromyographic data, it generates visual curves to achieve multimodal feedback.
(3) Intelligent Health Management
Automatically generate weekly/monthly reports (including completion rate and pain index trends), share them with doctors or family members with just one click, and enable electronic exercise prescription issuance and dynamic evaluation and adjustment.
This seminar is not only an academic feast, but also a deep collision between industry and clinical practice. Through interdisciplinary and cross disciplinary communication and cooperation, the innovative application and landing transformation of AI technology in the field of sports and health have been promoted, injecting new momentum into the development of intelligent rehabilitation in China.
In the future, all parties will continue to strengthen cooperation and jointly promote the construction of the “AI+Sports Health” ecosystem, helping to implement the “Healthy China” strategy.
