Chinese health-tech innovations, including a brain-computer interface, have enabled patients with paralysis to regain mobility, marking significant progress in medical technology and drug development.

• Zhiping, a patient with lower body paralysis, regained mobility through a brain-computer interface (BCI) and spinal cord stimulation system.
• The Beinao-1 BCI system, developed by Chinese institutions, has been implanted in nearly 30 patients, showing stable performance in restoring motor functions and speech.
• China is advancing BCI and innovative medicine sectors, with government support and significant investment, aiming to lead in these fields by 2030.
