According to the Tianjin Daily, reporters have learned from Tianjin Children’s Hospital (affiliated with Tianjin University) that the hospital has partnered with the Haihe Laboratory of Brain-Computer Interaction and Human-Machine Integration at Tianjin University to establish China’s first-ever "Clinical Research Center for Children’s Mental and Physical Health Using Brain-Computer Technology." The launch of this center represents a significant leap forward in China’s pediatric healthcare, particularly in the clinical application of brain-computer technology and the promotion of children’s mental and physical well-being.
Centered on pediatric care, the new facility will focus on five key research areas: diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases; precise interventions for neurological disorders; development of intervention technologies for children’s mental, psychological, and behavioral issues; assessment and optimization of audiovisual rehabilitation; and the establishment of systems for children’s health management and early intervention. By merging clinical expertise with advanced technologies, the center aims to shift pediatric healthcare from a "symptom-based treatment" model to one focused on "precise intervention and early prevention," setting a new standard for interdisciplinary medical-engineering innovation.
The center will provide a standardized testing environment, a child-friendly diagnostic and treatment space, and professional management tailored to children’s needs. This infrastructure will offer strong support for drug development, therapeutic advancements, and the creation of precise pediatric diagnostic and treatment guidelines.
