Global First Brain-Computer Interface Innovative Product Receives Medical Insurance Code

People’s Financial News, March 22 — On March 13, the world’s first invasive brain-computer interface medical device was officially approved for market launch. On March 15, the National Healthcare Security Administration proactively coordinated and provided front-line services, completing the medical insurance coding for this product. This successfully bridged the critical link from approval and market entry to clinical application of innovative products, marking the transition of the brain-computer interface industry from a “planning blueprint” to an “accelerated implementation phase.” The approved “Implantable Brain-Computer Interface Hand Motor Function Compensation System” is mainly designed for patients with high-level paralysis caused by spinal cord injury. By implanting a coin-sized minimally invasive device into the patient’s skull, the system can real-time capture and decode brain electrical signals, allowing patients to control external pneumatic gloves with their “thoughts” and independently perform daily actions such as grasping, object retrieval, and drinking water. After just one month post-surgery, patients can operate the system independently at home.
