After hearing Wu Hao's introduction, the three of them nodded in agreement. Indeed, no matter how good this smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye is, it is not as good as your own naked eyes.
And as Wu Hao said, no matter how advanced it is, it is not expensive and is just an electronic device.
Brother Xiao immediately asked: "So how to use it? Should it be worn directly or surgically implanted? Is the process complicated?"
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "I'm not responsible. There are two steps to wearing this smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye. The first is the surgical part. We need to remove the eyeball that has lost its function through surgery, and then clean the eye socket. The residual tissue inside. Then through fundus microsurgery, a tiny brain-computer connection device is implanted. It can also be regarded as a socket to connect this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic eye.
We need to perform surgery to implant this tiny brain-computer connection device into the fundus of the eye, which serves as a bridge for transmitting relevant data to the brain and for the brain to issue control instructions to the intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic eye.
For the entire fundus implant surgery, we will use our independently developed miniature multi-tentacle intelligent robot to perform the surgery. Each tentacle robotic arm of this miniature multi-tentacle intelligent bionic robot is very slender and is very suitable for such precise microsurgery.
This kind of fundus implant surgery may take more than ten hours if conventional surgery is used, and seven or eight hours if the advanced da Vinci surgical robot is used.
Using our miniature multi-tentacled intelligent bionic robot, the entire operation time can be shortened to about two hours. Greatly shortened the operation time,
It reduces surgical risks, relieves patients’ surgical and postoperative pain, and greatly improves the success rate of surgery. "
“After completing the fundus implant surgery, we need the patient to have a process of adaptation and recovery, which usually takes about a week.
During this one-week recovery period, we need to continuously test the performance of the brain-computer connection device implanted under the eye, and depending on the recovery situation, we will perform a second or third surgical revision.
As we all know, everyone has different individual differences, so factors such as recovery conditions are also different, so this depends on the situation and there is no relatively unified standard.
After a week, if the patient recovers well and meets relevant standards, he can now wear a smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye.
Because the patient has been blind for a long time, it will definitely take a process of adaptation to restore sight. At the beginning, you will definitely be able to regain your sense of light, that is, you will be able to feel the light. With the optic nerve and the visual cortex center of the brain responsible for vision, that is, the occipital lobe, it will also require a process of adaptation and habituation.
This process will also be based on each person's physical fitness. As the visual cortex center of the brain gradually adapts, the patient begins to slowly see light from intelligently, and then to blurry ground glass vision.
In other words, you can already see things, but it's still hazy, a bit like looking through frosted glass. You can see the general outline, but not the details.
After a period of recovery and adaptation, the patient will see more and more clearly and eventually return to the normal vision we expected. "
"This is not the end yet. We still need to train patients on how to use this smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye. This includes daily wearing and removal, maintenance, and how to use some of its functions.
The entire recovery period may last three months or even more than half a year. In addition to the need to stay in the hospital in the early stage, the patient can be allowed to go home to recover on his own most of the time in the later stage, with regular review. "
After hearing Wu Hao's introduction, the three of them nodded. It seems that this smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye and the entire vision restoration process are not as simple as they imagined.
In their imagination, they only need to wear this smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye directly into their eyes, and they can immediately restore their brightness and see things.
I didn't expect that such a complicated treatment process would be required and it would be so long. However, this seems more reasonable. If they believe that wearing smart bionic electronic prosthetic eyes can help blind people regain their sight, even if Wu Hao tells them, they will not believe it.
However, when Wu Hao introduced the entire complex systemic treatment plan in more detail, they felt that it was credible. This is what the current level of technology can achieve.
Of course, the three of them also understand that this kind of intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic eye-related technology has reached the world's leading level in related fields. Especially in the field of brain-computer connection systems, Wu Hao and the others should be said to be at the forefront.
It’s really amazing. This technology alone can save countless blind people around the world and restore their sight. From this aspect, giving you ten Nobel Prizes is not an exaggeration. Lao Ma praised.
Hearing Lao Ma's praise, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "Compared to the Nobel Prize, I actually value the public's recognition and praise more. This is priceless."
You are right, Lao Ma nodded and then asked him: "How much does this smart bionic electronic eye and the entire treatment process cost approximately.
I want to set up a charity fund in this area to invest and raise some funds specifically to help those blind children regain their sight. "
Count me in. Brother Xiaoma said.
As for Tao Zhengyang, he smiled and said: "Our company also has related charity funds, and we can do something within our capabilities in this regard."
Thanks. Wu Hao thanked him and said, "Compared to our smart bionic electronic prosthetic limbs, the cost of this smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye is relatively cheaper.
Why? Because our eyeballs are actually about the same size, unlike our limbs where the differences are so obvious. Therefore, we can completely subdivide it into different sizes for mass production. In this way, we can reduce the price of this smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye, and it is expected to achieve a price of about 100,000 yuan each. "
This price is ideal. Brother Ma admired.
Lao Ma also nodded and smiled: "It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either. But compared to restoring the light, the price can be said to be very cheap."
It is indeed very cheap. Each smart bionic electronic prosthetic eye costs 100,000 yuan, which seems very expensive. But in terms of medical equipment, it can be said to be very cheap. Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the cochlear implant, a device for facial features. The price of this kind of cochlear implant is very expensive, ranging from hundreds of thousands for domestic products to hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands for imported ones.
But when you talk about technology, it’s actually just like that. Compared with this kind of intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic eye, it is definitely incomparable. Therefore, the selling price of 100,000 yuan can be said to be a favor.
After all, compared to ears, the role of eyes in normal life is too important.
