SEMINAR

Center for Aging Science Guest Seminar - Elderly vs Tech, An Unlikely Pair? Fostering technological adoption in Hong Kong older adults

Dr. Bobo Hi Po Lau (Hong Kong Shue Yan University)

Aging is an inevitable, universal process for both individuals and populations. It is often represented as
an existential threat to society, economies, political and health systems.

The Center for Aging Science aims to develop and foster a better understanding of healthy aging, promote the idea of
balancing physical and psychological health, as well as sustaining relationships in old age.

Project Highlights

Frontier and Human-centric AI and Robotics Technology for Geriatric Care (AoE/E-601/24-N)

We are developing human‑centric AI and robotics solutions to enhance the care of older adults across homes, communities, and healthcare settings. Our work integrates advanced technologies with real geriatric needs to improve well-being and support caregivers.

Virtual Life Space Intervention to Slow the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease and to Speed the Recovery of COVID Brain Fog

We are developing a system to combine Virtual Reality and stationary bicycles to enables older adults to simultaneously get exercise and improve life-space mobility, which is associated with better cognition.

To Investigate How Aging Influences Glaucoma Pathogenesis

We are studying how aging and high intraocular pressure interact in the development of glaucoma, the second most common cause of blindness with the hope of developing new treatments.

Keeping Air Clean and Safe, Keeping Water Pure and Environmental Infection Control

Keeping the air, water and living environment free of pathogens is important in keeping elderly people healthy and active.

Task-specific Ionic Liquids for Enhanced Capture and Inactivation of Infectious Droplets and Aerosol

We are developing air cleaning and sterilization technologies based on a new family of antimicrobial ionic liquid designed to rapidly capture and disinfect infectious droplets to safeguard elderly health.

XAID: Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis and Progression Quantification from Multi-Modality Data

We are developing a clinical decision support system based on explainable AI technology for diagnosing and quantifying the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.
