《Mr Shay CHUNG Ho Wai’s Team Awarded One of Top 30 Teams in JUMPSTARTER 2026》
Our surveying student Mr Shay CHUNG Ho Wai and his team secured a Top 30 spot at the JUMPSTARTER 2026 global pitch competition in March with their project ‘CanPan’, an AI-powered wellness platform. JUMPSTARTER ZPIRE 2026 is an AI innovation challenge focused on Wellness (Mental Health track).
Highlighting interdisciplinary collaboration, Shay’s team members comprised Mr LO Hin Yui, Arts and Education Visual, the Education University of Hong Kong; Mr CHEUNG Wai Ho, Computer Science, the Chinese University of Hong Kong; Mr CHAU Tsz Hong, Radiotherapy, Tung Wah College; and Dr Marco TAM Shing Yau from Tung Wah College.
Inspired by his BRE studies, Shay initially leveraged his knowledge of the construction industry to design a tool addressing the worsening mental health of construction workers battling cancer. However, applying the analytical skills honed through his surveying training, deeper research revealed a challenging issue. This led his team to pivot CanPan into a comprehensive support system for all cancer patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals, proving how construction focused insights can spark life-changing technological innovations.
Shay shared, “Through this journey, not only did I make friends with student innovators who share the same passion, but I also cultivated an in-depth appreciation of how innovation and technology can profoundly change lives.
