Gerontech mobile lab reaches out to primary school students for smart ageing

Lingnan University set up a mobile gerontechnology lab in Shaukiwan Tsung Tsin School last month to improve the smart ageing understanding and knowledge of primary school students through demonstrations, booth activities and talks.

 

LU ambassadors for the elderly demonstrated gerontech healthcare, dining, living and transport products to over 110 students and teachers, and teamed up with the students to show them how to use devices including digital blood pressure monitors, food salt meters and wheelchairs, giving them first-hand experience of seniors’ needs.
