The “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for National Medical Insurance” issued by the National Health Insurance Administration proposes to actively include the application of new technologies, new drugs, and new devices in the scope of commercial health insurance coverage. The reporter recently visited and learned that at present, Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have included “medical exoskeleton rehabilitation training” programs in medical insurance or long-term care insurance pilots. A medical exoskeleton is a wearable intelligent rehabilitation robot that can provide patients with standardized and repetitive gait training, train for hip, knee, and ankle movement control, trunk balance, and gait control, and help patients re-establish the ability to stand, walk, and walk. In the past, most rehabilitation training reimbursed by medical insurance was completed with manual assistance from rehabilitation physicians. After medical exoskeleton rehabilitation training programs were included in medical insurance, patients had more options. According to data from the professional agency IDC, in 2025, the market size of medical rehabilitation exoskeleton robots in China will be about 1.42 billion yuan. Experts say that low-cost, highly practical rehabilitation exoskeleton robots will become the focus of future development.
