Shanghai's rehabilitation expo spotlights smarter recovery and senior-care technology

Shanghai's June 9 official update on AID 2026 highlighted rapid growth in AI-enabled wheelchairs, walking exoskeletons and other rehabilitation-support tools presented during the June 4 to 6 exhibition.

The city also used the event to describe broader system changes, including hospice-care training in community nursing stations and continued expansion of smart senior-care settings.

For international patients and families comparing destinations, the expo is a useful signal of where rehabilitation, eldercare and mobility support services may continue to develop, but any device use or care plan still needs confirmation from qualified providers.
