Jizai Arms

Jizai Arms is a supernumerary robotic limb system worn on the body. The system consists of a wearable base unit with six terminals and detachable robotic arms, each with five degrees of freedom. The arms can be attached and removed quickly, so wearers can exchange arms with one another. Exterior parts are produced by three-dimensional printing, which allows complex shapes and reduces weight. The arms are operated through a half scale model moved by hand, and the posture of the model is applied directly to the robotic arms.

Roboangio

Roboangio is an interventional robotic system used in vascular interventional surgery. The system delivers and manipulates guidewires and catheters remotely. A master-slave control solution allows physicians to stay away from the radiation environment while keeping complete control. An adjustable gantry attaches to a surgical table when needed and is removed when not in use. The control console has two operating rods that reproduce the feel of traditional practice, so existing surgical skills remain useful. Shielding uses lead panels and lead glass.

AdaptDx Pro

AdaptDx Pro is a wearable dark adaptometer used to measure dark adaptation for the early detection of age-related macular degeneration. The headset replaces a large tabletop system and a darkened test room by forming a personal light-tight testing space. A padded head strap and an overhead strap allow adjustment, and single use comfort guards on the eye cups support comfort and hygiene. A digital assistant named Theia uses artificial intelligence and voice prompts to guide each patient. Infrared cameras locate the pupil and small motors align the optics. A front display shows test status.

Inogi R1

Inogi R1 is a miniaturized oxygen concentrator for medical use. The device delivers a pulse flow rate of up to 6 litres per minute. Inogi R1 separates oxygen from air with a molecular sieve, so no additives are needed, and reaches an oxygen concentration above 90 percent. A control system developed in house keeps operation stable at altitudes up to 6000 metres and at temperatures down to minus 30 degrees Celsius. With the battery, the unit measures 17.7 by 7.7 by 19.4 centimetres and weighs 1.8 kilograms. The molecular sieve and the battery can be replaced in one step.

Smarthaler

Smarthaler is a digital pMDI Inhaler, that uses real-time AI analysis and data collection to guide asthma and COPD patients toward correct inhalation technique and enhanced drug deposition. Its modular design incorporates advanced flow sensing algorithms, allowing it to operate like a standard inhaler while offering the added benefit of a reusable electronic module attached to the back of the aerosol dispenser. After each usage, it provides instant feedback on inhalation quality. This data is sent to an app for immediate sharing with doctors or care teams, facilitating better care.

Yang Wang

Yang Wang is a micro hyperbaric oxygen chamber designed for use in the home. The compact chamber makes hyperbaric oxygen therapy more accessible and can also serve sports rehabilitation and beauty care. The form is inspired by pebbles, with an oval body tilted at 45 degrees and ambient lighting that follows the outline. The shell is made of ABS with a large organic glass panel, while the interior offers adjustable seating and soft linings. Oxygen concentration control, real time status monitoring and a dual way opening door support safe and comfortable treatment.
