BrainCo Brings a Ray of Hope to Young Girl Tong

BrainCo has become part of many powerful human stories, including that of Tong, a girl whose perseverance shines as brightly as her achievements. At just 20 months old, she was diagnosed with a rare hemangioma on her right ring finger. For years, she endured injections, medications, and repeated hospitalizations, yet never once complained or gave up. Balancing school and treatment, Tong devoted herself wholeheartedly to her studies, developing not only beautiful handwriting but also remarkable talents in vocal music, swimming, and roller skating. She even held solo art exhibitions and won awards in essay writing and science competitions. To her classmates, she was "kind, positive, like a little sun, and a trustworthy friend."

After many years of illness, Tong underwent two amputations in a single year to stop the disease from spreading. Losing her right hand made schoolwork even harder-she struggled to hold papers steady during exams and found drawing difficult. Her mother once considered a prosthetic hand but dismissed the idea as unreachable: "For a family like ours, a prosthetic limb is a luxury."

Everything changed when Tong received a free BrainCo Intelligent Bionic Hand with the support of public welfare programs. The first time her mother saw her wearing the new hand, she was moved to tears: "I've felt the profound change that new technology has brought to people. This hand will bring great hope to our family."

Tong herself treasured the opportunity deeply. Soon after receiving the bionic hand, she practiced with it for more than seven hours, pushing through fatigue in her arm. Her mother shared that the new hand has already opened doors for Tong to revisit her passions-whether playing badminton or learning her favorite musical instrument. For Tong, life is long, but with her new hand, her journey is only just beginning.

For a long time, most prosthetic limbs on the market only had the shape of hands, but could not be used as flexibly as normal human hands. Even though prosthetic hands that could perform gripping actions became available later, the cost was beyond the reach of relatively poor disabled people. This was until BrainCo developed an intelligent bionic hand using BCI technology.

The BrainCo Intelligent Bionic Hand supports both independent finger movements and coordinated multi-finger operations. It meets the daily functional needs of upper-limb amputees by enabling commonly used gestures, allowing users to control the prosthetic hand with a level of flexibility approaching that of a natural hand.
