Food & feeding technologies, Gerontechnology in Hong Kong 🇭🇰

Our student teams split into 2 sub teams! One team worked on texture modified foods (TMF) for elderly with dysphasia, and another on healthy pre-cooked meal packs for the young elderly. We are especially thankful for the Elderly Resource Center (ERC) and Speech Therapist Ms. Jenny Lai from the SAGE Bradbury Home for the Elderly for hosting our student teams and providing crucial feedback throughout the projects. A special hat tip for the ERC for organising their elderly volunteers for a workshop and taste-testing.!

​The projects are guided by Prof. Marshal Liu as the advisor.

​Malaria prevention in refugee settlement in Sadon, Myanmar 🇲🇲

Our student team had the pleasure of working with the CEDAR Fund in Hong Kong and the Myanmar partner Fullmoon Family Foundation to make this project happen. To aid the refugee settlement in Sadon with their malaria problem, the team developed insect repellents and mosquito traps that could be easily made with materials locally sourced in Sadon, and then conducted workshops with the refugees in Sadon.

The project is guided by Dr. Vincent Li as the advisor.
