PolyU Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The George Institute for Global Health in Australia to establish a strategic partnership aimed at advancing global health and smart ageing, in response to the health challenges arising from population ageing. By leveraging multidisciplinary research strengths and global health expertise, the two institutions will collaborate on joint research, clinical trials and development of innovative digital health solutions to enhance the health and quality of life of ageing populations.
The MoU was signed by Prof. ZHENG Yongping, Director of RISA, and Prof. Manuela FERREIRA, Program Head of The George Institute for Global Health. Under the partnership, the two institutions will first focus on joint research and development in the areas of low back pain and sarcopenia, with a view to strengthening evidence-based musculoskeletal care.
In addition, the two institutions will promote faculty exchange and co-supervision of postgraduate students to strengthen international academic collaboration and knowledge exchange. Through these efforts, both sides aim to enhance the quality of care, improve the health and well-being of ageing populations worldwide, and further advance smart ageing development.
