It uses modern science and technology to convert unconscious biological signals, such as myoelectricity, brain electricity, skin temperature, heart rate, etc., into visual and auditory signals that can be perceived, allowing patients to feedback through sound and visual images stimulating the brain to regulate the body, understand the activity state of one's own pelvic floor muscles, so as to learn to control consciously to achieve the effect of improving the state of pelvic floor muscles. It is characterized by strong pertinence, green, no damage, and painless, and is currently widely used in clinical practice.
