The 2nd International Forum on Proactive Health and Aging took place successfully at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from August 23 to 25. During the event, scholars from the Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) actively participated and showcased the University's frontier strength in smart ageing technology.
Prof. Zheng Yongping, Director of RISA, Chair Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Henry G. Leong Professor in Biomedical Engineering, attended the Opening Forum on August 24 as an Officiating Guest to kick off the event alongside government officials and international experts.
On August 25, two RISA members delivered keynote presentations at thematic sub-forums. Prof. Wen Chunyi, RISA Management Committee Member and Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at PolyU, spoke at the "Chronic Disease Management and Integrated Care" sub-forum, sharing his team's latest research breakthroughs in AI-driven knee osteoarthritis management and healthy longevity technologies. Meanwhile, Prof. Liu Justina, RISA Member, Associate Head (Education) and Associate Professor in the School of Nursing at PolyU, presented at the "Digital Intelligence Empowering Active Health and Elderly Care" sub-forum, highlighting her team's innovative applications of gerontechnologies, such as virtual reality, wearable sensors, and artificial intelligence in health interventions for frail older adults and in nursing education.
Overall, the event highlighted the academic impact of PolyU scholars in gerontechnology and demonstrated RISA's commitment to advancing interdisciplinary research and clinical applications to address global population ageing challenges.
