LU Jockey Club Gerontech-X Lab
Establishing the LU Jockey Club Gerontech-X Lab on the Lingnan campus in Tuen Mun is a significant milestone. It is the first lab of its kind in the New Territories West area, with indoor and outdoor facilities spanning an area of 2,000 square feet where the elderly can try out gerontechnology products on the spot. In turn, the user experience recorded will plough back to baseline studies for building a database on Gerontech products and services, social innovations and start-ups, and thus addressing the actual needs of the users and contributing to our vision in offering policy recommendations for the industry and Government.
'Old Camp' at Lingnan for elderly-youth harmony
Lingnan University endeavours joined hands with RTHK Radio 5 to organise this first ever two-day, one-night university camp for 100 seniors, bringing together Lingnan student ambassadors and 90 secondary school students to fill the Lingnan campus with energy.
Woo Fung, honorary fellow of Lingnan University, shared his experience in using smart products and encouraged fellow elders to memorise phone numbers as a way to train up their memory. The over-80-year-old said he was living his best life through lifelong learning.
