Bronze Prize in the 2nd Smart Ageing Award for Health Care and Well-Being

CIMDA Care, a comprehensive AI assistance system for older people developed by the Centre for Intelligent Multidimensional Data Analysis (CIMDA) at City University of Hong Kong (CityU), has been honoured with the Bronze Prize in the 2nd Smart Ageing Award for Health Care and Well-Being, which is held by the Golden Age Foundation.

“The digital technology currently available for healthcare and quality of life for older people is still very limited, and the market lacks awareness about their needs. There is also a lack of investment in gerontechnology. So CIMDA is excited to have more opportunities to work with the technology and elder care professionals to enhance the system and develop other digital services,” said Professor Yan Hong, Director of CIMDA and Wong Chun Hong Professor of Data Engineering.

Working closely with top universities and research leaders from institutions and industry, CIMDA is a world-class research centre established under the InnoHK programme funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission. It focuses on real-world applications in multimedia and biomedical big data analysis, sound/music/dance composition, virtual coaching for dance and fitness exercises, digital entertainment, care for seniors, computer animation and augmented reality, and parallel computing.
