Technology Innovation in Dementia Support
Abstract
According to the Hospital Authority, the prevalence rates of dementia in Hong Kong is estimated to be at 5%-8% among persons aged over 65, and at 20%-30% among those aged over 80. Research and deployment relating to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dementia, and development of Hong Kong-fitted assistive technologies for the rehabilitation and care of persons with dementia can enable them to live well in the community. It also benefits the quality of life of both the elderly and carers. In this session, we have invited service providers and technology companies to share their challenges and the tips to tackle for the solutions rollout.
