In the rehabilitation room of the High Altitude Brain Computer Interface Clinical Application Center of Lhasa People's Hospital, a high paraplegic girl was helped by doctors to wear a dense signal acquisition device, and the computer screen next to her displayed real-time brainwave curves. Under her concentration, the accompanying exoskeleton equipment is slowly making movements guided by neural signals.
This is exactly a scene of non-invasive rehabilitation treatment in Xizang with the help of brain computer interface technology. This breakthrough to fill the gap in the field of neural rehabilitation at high altitude can not be separated from the strength of medical assistance to Xizang: Hao Qiang, the 11th batch of Tibetan medical team members in Beijing and chief physician of neurosurgery in Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, set out to list brain computer interface as a key project of Tibet assistance after he arrived in Tibet last year.
With his efforts, the first clinical application center of brain computer interface at high altitude in Xizang was established, and began to provide the relevant patients with full process precision diagnosis and treatment services such as screening assessment, scheme formulation, postoperative rehabilitation, etc.
"My assistance to Xizang has come to an end for the time being, but the technology will not be interrupted. A new batch of Tibetan doctors from our hospital have arrived in Tibet, and we will continue to promote the continuous landing of cutting-edge medical technology on the plateau to benefit the people in the future." Hao Qiang said.
This kind of continuity and inheritance is precisely the distinctive feature of medical aid to Tibet. In 2015, the "group based" aid to Tibet by medical talents was officially launched. Multiple hospitals from Beijing, relying on their respective advantageous disciplines, systematically improved the technical capabilities and disciplinary construction of different departments of Lhasa People's Hospital through the "hospital package" approach.
