The PolyU Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA) adopts an interdisciplinary approach to ageing research, focusing on innovative solutions for the challenges faced by the ageing population, and aims to improve the quality of life for older adults and promote active and healthy ageing.

RISA comprises over 45 members from 15 academic departments and units at PolyU, covering a wide range of ageing-related issues such as medical conditions, daily activities, and community-related topics. Their expertise includes stroke, dementia, osteoporosis, mobility, sleep, nutrition, caregiving, family dynamics, society, living space, and gerontechnology.

By leveraging technology, RISA develops innovative solutions like wearable devices, smart home systems, and telehealth technologies to enhance older adults' independence, safety, and well-being. These technologies monitor health conditions, provide personalised care, and enable remote healthcare services.

Additionally, RISA collaborates with industry partners, government agencies, and community organisations to translate research findings into practical applications. Through knowledge transfer and technology commercialisation, the institute aims to positively impact society and contribute to developing an intelligent ageing ecosystem.

RISA is under the PolyU Academy for Interdisciplinary Research, also known as PAIR.
