SceneRay Medical joins the China Mental Disorders Neuromodulation Alliance to jointly promote new developments in the field of neuromodulation

Mental Health Puci Forum

From July 14 to 16, the first Mental Health Universal Compassion Forum, hosted by the National Center for Mental Disorders and Shanghai Mental Health Center, was held in Shanghai.

Nearly 500 professionals working in mental health care, teaching, research, management, and rehabilitation, as well as those working in mental health and wellness-related fields from the political and legal, civil affairs, disabled persons' federations, and education sectors, gathered at the Shanghai Science Hall to discuss new academic trends and explore new developments in the industry.

The forum was attended by Zhang Wenbao, Director of the Medical Management Division of the Medical Administration Department of the National Health Commission; Zhang Hao, Deputy Director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission and Director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention; Zheng Ning, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Shanghai Shenkang Hospital Development Center; Chen Xin, Vice Chairman of the Shanghai Association for Science and Technology; Poo Muming, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; Chen Kaixian, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; Ma Lan, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; Gao Tianming, Academician of the European Academy of Sciences; Jiang Tianzai, Academician of the Royal Society of Canada; Wang Yutian, Academician of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences; Liu Fang, Academician of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences; and Song Weihong, Academician of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences.

China Mental Disorders Neuromodulation Alliance

The forum launched the China Mental Disorders Neuromodulation Alliance, a collaborative effort led by hospitals, research institutes, and businesses in the field of neuromodulation, guided by precise clinical needs and aiming for technological breakthroughs and clinical translation. This initiative signifies a convergence of the functional neurosurgery community in the field of mental illness, jointly promoting the prosperity and development of the neuromodulation field.

"Previously, the approach of identifying intervention targets through disease mechanisms and then exploring methods for disease prevention and treatment has failed to work in the study of mental disorders, and may even require the reverse," said Academician Poo Muming. Therefore, studying the mechanisms of disease, particularly mental disorders, presents the greatest challenge in understanding human brain function.

Experts also pointed out that in the study of brain science, mental disorders, and psychological issues, it is necessary to strengthen the development of a standardized research system, integrate basic research with clinical practice, strengthen the implementation and translation of research results, and promote the development of a multidisciplinary collaborative network platform. This is precisely the significance of the establishment of the China Alliance for Neuromodulation of Mental Disorders.

Awarding of the Demonstration Unit of the Specialty Alliance

As a member of the China Mental Disorders Neuromodulation Alliance, SceneRay is actively promoting the use of domestically produced brain pacemakers to treat refractory mental illnesses. It pioneered a dual-target DBS stimulation therapy approach and developed a dual-target brain-computer interface pacemaker. At the forum, SceneRay, as a model unit, received the "Specialized Alliance Model Unit" designation from the alliance.
