    CUHK Jockey Club HOPE 4 Care Programme

Physical Therapists (PTs) and Occupational Therapists (OTs) are striving to provide the best therapeutic exercises to patients, while applying numerous tools to facilitate their routine training. With a growing aging population worldwide, the demand for high quality rehabilitation will continue to increase. We therefore developed AR + Sensor + Therapist, a platform providing automated rehabilitative training with advanced AR technology and sensor-embedded rehabilitation tools to support therapists effectively.

Upper and lower limb exercise instruction and daily training report
The platform provides instant training instructions to users

Uniqueness and Competitive Advantages:

  • Large variety of innovatively training activities designed by therapists with special sensor-embedded physiotherapy tools, more than 45 activities are provided
  • Matches well with current routine training in clinics/hospitals
  • Users can train at home/community centres by themselves under supervision
  • Personalized training is designed, assembled and monitored by therapists
  • 3D whole body tracking technology
  • Instant, objective AR, visual and audio instructions
  • User performance evaluation and intelligent scoring system
  • Currently in use in 7 elderly/rehabilitation centres, and will be expanded to 14 in 2020, 40 in 2021-2022

Handheld High-Resolution Short-Wave Infrared Spectrometer

Spectrometers are widely used in many different aspects, such as food and environmental inspection etc. However, it is necessary to have a portable and high-resolution spectrometer for real-time on-site inspection at remote farm or factory. CUHK team invented two new technologies, which broke the traditional boundary. We develop a handheld high-resolution short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectrometer […]
