Abstract

Recently, the key R&D project of the Guangzhou Science and Technology Bureau — Research and Development of Wearable Lumbar Infrared Physiotherapy Instrument System — jointly undertaken by Guangzhou Joinmax Technology Co., Ltd. and The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine has successfully passed official acceptance.

The project has achieved breakthroughs in multiple core technologies for far-infrared precision physiotherapy and pioneered an innovative collaborative solution integrating physiotherapy and medicinal compress therapy. The results mark another authoritative recognition of the brand’s capabilities in the field of intelligent rehabilitation.

Successful Completion of the Municipal Key Scientific Research Project

The accepted project, Research and Development of Wearable Lumbar Infrared Physiotherapy Instrument System, is a key R&D program project funded by the Guangzhou Science and Technology Bureau. It falls under the 2023 Special Project for Agricultural and Social Development Science and Technology, with a research cycle from April 2023 to March 2026. Organized by the Yuexiu District Bureau of Science, Technology, Industry and Information Technology, the project was led and implemented by Guangzhou Joinmax Technology Co., Ltd.

Reviewed by the expert panel, all indicators of the project have met the requirements specified in the task book, and the project has passed acceptance. This marks a phased achievement of Guangzhou Joinmax Technology in the field of smart wearable rehabilitation physiotherapy devices. The developed wearable lumbar infrared physiotherapy instrument adopts a wearable design and precise temperature-controlled infrared technology, addressing the pain points of poor portability and unstable therapeutic effects of traditional equipment. It can meet the demands of lumbar spine care for home and office scenarios.

In the next phase, the R&D team will push forward the industrialization of the product and accelerate the transformation of research achievements. Leveraging industry-university-research cooperation to optimize product performance, the team aims to provide intelligent solutions for the domestic lumbar rehabilitation and physiotherapy sector.

Build Core Barriers in Far-infrared Physiotherapy

Drawing on years of technical accumulation, the project team has successfully made breakthroughs in multiple key technologies. The team developed far-infrared thermal radiation technology adapted for human body absorption, which enables precise temperature control as well as intelligent monitoring and management of treatment frequency, making the physiotherapy process more efficient and safer.

The wearable lumbar infrared physiotherapy instrument has obtained the Medical Device Registration Certificate and holds qualified credentials for clinical application. Meanwhile, the project has generated a number of intellectual property rights including invention patents, utility model patents and software copyrights, building a solid technological moat.

Innovating the “Physiotherapy + Medicinal Compress” Synergistic Model

The project was developed through in-depth collaboration with The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, serving as a typical practice of collaborative innovation integrating medicine, industry, university and research. Drawing on years of clinical experience in traditional Chinese medicine, the hospital’s expert team developed herbal compresses with different efficacy for lumbar spine care. These compresses work synergistically with the wearable infrared physiotherapy instrument to deliver dual effects of physical physiotherapy and drug penetration, greatly improving the suitability of lumbar spine care and rehabilitation.

Unlike single-function physiotherapy devices available on the market, this combined solution of “infrared physiotherapy + traditional Chinese herbal compress” better caters to the health rehabilitation needs of Chinese people and provides an optimized option for clinical rehabilitation and home-based care.

Improve the Layout of Full-scenario Health and Rehabilitation Products

The acceptance of the project is not an end, but a brand-new starting point for the industrialization of technical achievements. Going forward, Joinmax Healthcare will accelerate the achievement transformation and market launch of the infrared physiotherapy instrument, and further improve the brand’s product matrix.

The contact-type far-infrared physiotherapy instrument has already achieved large-scale implementation. With its gentle and comfortable physiotherapy effect, it is widely used in community elderly care centers and elderly service institutions across Guangzhou, winning extensive user praise and laying a mature technical and market foundation for the R&D of this wearable product.

Going forward, the brand will continue to deepen its presence in the intelligent rehabilitation sector. It will drive product upgrading through technological iteration and enhance service value via innovative models, contributing more Joinmax strength to national public health.
