In recent years, the aging process of the population has accelerated, the incidence rate of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease has increased year by year, and brain health problems have become the forefront of the medical field. On September 16th, United Family Healthcare welcomed an important moment - Professor Guo Yi, a neurology expert and German medical doctor, officially joined and was appointed as the "United Family Brain Health Chief Expert". At the same time, the "United Family Brain Health Center" has taken the lead in landing at Guangzhou United Family Hospital and Shenzhen New Wind United Family Hospital. United Family hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin will also complete their layout within the year, marking a new stage in the strategic layout of United Family Healthcare in the field of brain health.

New Trends in Brain Health: Coping with Aging and Guarding the Greater Bay Area

 

Faced with the increasingly severe situation of brain health issues, United Family Healthcare actively explores innovative models for brain health screening, diagnosis, and treatment with its profound international medical service foundation. The simultaneous establishment of the "United Family Brain Health Center" in Guangzhou and Shenzhen is a continuation and deepening of the group's brain health specialty strategic layout, aiming to closely integrate cutting-edge scientific research achievements with clinical practice, and comprehensively safeguard the brain health of residents in the Greater Bay Area.

 

Faced with such a trend, United Family Healthcare has taken active action and ushered in an important moment. Xiao Yihuang, Executive Director of Xinfeng Tianyu and Chief Operating Officer of the Greater Bay Area, stated that the establishment of the Guangzhou Shenzhen Brain Health Center and the joining of Professor Guo Yi are key measures for United Family Healthcare to promote the development of smart healthcare and serve residents in the Greater Bay Area. United Family Healthcare will use Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau as hubs, connect with top international expert resources, and build a three-level linkage network of "scientific research clinical data" to accelerate the transformation of innovative achievements and safeguard the health of every family.

Famous Doctor Franchise: Remarkable Achievements in Scientific Research and Clinical Practice, Leading New Directions in Diagnosis and Treatment

 

Professor Guo Yi is a leading figure in the field of neurology in China, and can be regarded as a pioneer and leader in the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive disorders, neural regulation technology, and multimodal brain fusion research. He established the first Neurointensive Care Unit (NICU) in Shenzhen, providing a life protection barrier for critically ill patients with neurological disorders; We have also established the largest non-invasive neural regulation center in China, leading the trend of non-invasive neural regulation technology development in the country.

 

Professor Guo Yi has achieved fruitful results in the field of scientific research. He pioneered the cognitive risk screening system and developed the Resting State EEG based Cognitive Risk Screening System (E-CDS), which has advantages such as non invasiveness, convenience, and accuracy. It can capture subtle changes in brain signals 15 to 20 years before the onset of diseases, achieving early and accurate identification and brain function evaluation of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease; Leading the development of the world's first "Physical Symptom Disorder Screening Scale" Neuro - 11， Highly recognized by the international academic community; He is also the chief editor of the first domestic monograph on transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy for neurological diseases, and has hosted multiple international forums on brain cognition and neural regulation, building an international academic exchange platform.

After Professor Guo Yi joins, he will rely on the regional and clinical resources of Guangzhou United Family Hospital and Shenzhen New Wind United Family Hospital, link with the core areas of Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai, and strategically promote the upgrading of the group's brain health specialty, including building a brain health specialty system and focusing on core diseases to create a full cycle closed-loop management; Building a "United Family Brain Bank System" and constructing a high-quality multimodal database to empower scientific research; Promote the implementation of the "Cloud Valley Big Model" platform to achieve intelligent evaluation of cognitive risks, etc; Launch a national multi center research plan to accelerate the transformation of innovative achievements.

 

Technological breakthrough: non-invasive screening and intervention, ushering in a new era of brain health management

 

Changes in brain function occur earlier than clinical symptoms, and early detection and intervention are crucial for brain health. Traditional inspection methods are expensive, radioactive, and limited in popularity, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale population screening. The research conducted by Professor Guo Yi's team shows that electroencephalography (EEG), as a brain functional imaging tool, has significant advantages in early screening and intervention guidance for Alzheimer's disease. Being able to capture subtle changes in brain signals 15 to 20 years before the onset of a disease, providing scientific evidence for doctors to assess cognitive risk. This technology has been officially put into clinical application at Guangzhou United Family Hospital and Shenzhen Xinfeng United Family Hospital. Patients only need 30 minutes of non-invasive testing to obtain accurate brain function evaluation results. It can provide early warning signals for elderly people with a family history of Alzheimer's disease, significant emotional fluctuations, or mild cognitive impairment.

In addition, Guangzhou United Family Hospital and Shenzhen Xinfeng United Family Hospital have also introduced advanced non-invasive neural regulation intervention programs. Through transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), brain neural plasticity is improved and neural function is regulated under safe and painless conditions, which has a significant positive effect on patients with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and attention loss. Combining innovative drug therapy, the hospital has formed a one-stop closed-loop brain health management service system of "screening intervention medication", providing patients with comprehensive and personalized health management solutions.

 

Empowering smart healthcare and building a new pattern of brain health management

 

In the digital age, smart healthcare has become an important force driving the development of the medical industry. The United Family Brain Health Center relies on big data and artificial intelligence to build a brain health data sharing platform, gathering EEG and brain function data from major hospitals in the Greater Bay Area to form a huge resource library. By analyzing and mining data, we provide precise decision support for doctors and assist research institutions in exploring the pathogenesis and treatment methods of brain diseases.

 

United Family Healthcare always adheres to the concept of "patient-centered", takes international medical standards as the benchmark, and collaborates with high-quality medical resources in the Greater Bay Area to promote the comprehensive development of brain health services. In the future, the hospital will continue to explore innovative paths for brain health services, make greater contributions to the health of residents in the Greater Bay Area, and become a shining pearl in the field of brain health in the Greater Bay Area.
