In the eyes of ordinary people, Chinese medicine practitioners are old folks who stick to traditions, but in fact they are also advancing with the times. On Monday, AiTreat, a Singapore start-up company, demonstrated the robotic physiotherapists they developed. This robotic physiotherapist (EMMA) was jointly developed by graduates of Nanyang Technological University and AiTreat. It can provide patients with professional physical therapy (such as massage) to help them relax muscles and reduce injuries.

Mr. Zhang is a Chinese medicine practitioner who has been in medicine for 5 years. He believes that: "Chinese medicine is different from other industries, and the technique of massage and massage is hard to learn. Therefore, although the charge for Chinese massage is not low, the practitioners in this area do not earn well. high."

"So, instead of solving the problem of shortage of TCM practitioners in China, it is better to use robots to fill the gap in this position. In addition, the addition of robots can also bring us scientific data. TCM can do research on the basis of these data. In order to clearly explain to the patient their condition and the progress of the treatment, and to give the patient appropriate guidance.” Zhang said.

"Our goal is to turn EMMA into a sophisticated clinical tool. In the future, it will automatically generate accurate treatments based on patient conditions," said Zhang. "Of course, this is not to replace the existing Chinese physiotherapists. Their massage and acupressure therapy are still our most valuable asset. The main task of EMMA is to help Chinese medicine practitioners quickly determine the patient's condition and treat it."

High-intensity work has been attributed to EMMA

After the official service of EMMA, the existing Chinese medical physiotherapists have much less work stress. They only need to judge the patient's condition and formulate treatment methods, and the subsequent massage work of EMMA can be completed.

Zhang said that EMMA may be the world’s first robot specifically designed for the field of physiotherapy in Chinese medicine. Nowadays, EMMA has become the “Queen of Physicians” of the National Basketball Team of Singapore. It is responsible for providing athletes with fatigue and pain through the acupressure therapy during the competition. The coach of the basketball team stated: "The emergence of EMMA has greatly eased the pressure on the team doctors. It is necessary to know that massage for 12 people a day is a big project."

The EMMA is equipped with a hinged robotic arm and a stereoscopic display camera. Through programming, it can flexibly master various massage techniques. In order to continuously improve the treatment level of EMMA, the researchers also assembled various sensors, which can accurately control the status of the patient, and even help patients to relax a certain stiff muscles.

In addition, the data obtained during the treatment by EMMA will be uploaded to AiTreat's intelligent cloud platform for physicians to conduct targeted research.

The medicine of aging society

Last week, EMMA began working in a hospital and provided treatment for 50 patients. Coco Zhang, senior director of the hospital, said: "Similar to many developed countries, the aging of Singapore is also very serious. In the next decade, more and more elderly people will need daily massage."

In the future, in addition to vigorously promoting EMMA, AiTreat will also open up the development of a new generation of physiotherapy robots. Its volume will be greatly reduced, and portability is a major highlight. In addition, in the future, EMMA will not only continue to improve massage skills, but will also equip heating pads to better simulate the feeling of human hands.
