A thin electrode sheet like a cicada's wing helps quadriplegic patients achieve robotic arm movement to grip a water cup; AR subtitle glasses that can "see" sound, allowing hearing-impaired individuals to communicate their thoughts with others; Intelligent exoskeleton supports spinal cord injury patients to straighten their spine and take the first step after injury... Recently, reporters learned at the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting Science and Technology Assistance for the Disabled Parallel Forum that many science and technology innovation companies and teams have used the field of disability as their application scenarios, and multiple latest innovative cases of technology assistance for the disabled have been released to the public. Some "visible, tangible, and walking" AI "hard technology" is becoming a new force in assisting the disabled. Beside the exhibition booth at Zhongguancun Exhibition Center, many viewers bent down to gaze at a small piece of electrode sheet as thin as a cicada's wing. Recently, a patient with ALS received speech decoding training after being implanted with 'Beinao No.1'. After only about 3 hours of training, they were able to output more than 60 words in daily life, "said Zhao Bing, a research and development engineer at Beijing Xinzhida Neurotechnology Co., Ltd. The scene of paralyzed patients gaining fine motor skills after surgery and speech disorder patients being able to 'hear' their inner thoughts has gradually become a reality. In another exhibition area, several viewers wearing a pair of AR subtitle glasses that can "see" sound exclaimed, "Even if you can't hear it, you can still see it." "The voice on the glasses is transcribed into text in real time, and the font size and position are appropriate, so it won't be dazzling." Li Qingzhong, director of the China Disabled Persons' Federation and chairman of the China Blind Association, introduced that especially for severely visually impaired people, in the past, they only had to read Braille and large font materials, and they faced challenges when traveling. They couldn't see clearly when shopping or taking a taxi. Now with the help of smartphones and voice conversion technology, as well as accessible technologies such as human-machine intelligent dialogue, we can read and learn online like everyone else, browse short video platforms, and create our own self media, "said Li Qingzhong. On the forum, Liu Qingfeng, Chairman of iFlytek, presented a recording of a deaf dancer whose hoarse voice was transformed into standard and fluent Mandarin through technological means. Technology enables everyone to become a unique speaker and proudly participate in social communication Liu Qingfeng said, "The current technological achievements are beginning to empower people with different disabilities. There have been more and more large-scale achievements in 'turning hearing into seeing', 'turning seeing into hearing', active caregiving companionship, emotion recognition, etc." "There are 85 million disabled people in China, and technology has great potential for application in improving their functions and promoting their development. Technological assistance to the disabled is not only an important measure to serve them, but also an important application scenario to promote innovation in cutting-edge technologies such as brain computer interfaces and exoskeleton robots." Liu Lijun, Deputy Director of the Planning and Finance Department of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, said that in recent years, China's technological assistance to the disabled has achieved remarkable results. The China Disabled Persons' Federation, together with the Ministry of Science and Technology and nine other departments, jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting Technological Assistance to the Disabled. To accelerate technological innovation in disability assistance, Promoting the deep integration of technology and disability work provides new impetus and guarantee. (New Society)
