The competition forms part of the Jockey Club Gerontechnology and Smart Ageing in Place Project, organised by the Institute of Policy Studies at Lingnan University. This achievement marks the second consecutive year that residents from the Patrick S C Poon Amity College have earned recognition in this competition. \u00a0<\/p><p>The winning entry, an innovative \u201cBrainwave-Sensing Headset\u201d, leverages electroencephalography (EEG) biofeedback technology to continuously monitor brain activity patterns. This enables early detection of subtle abnormalities linked to mild cognitive impairment or the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, enabling family members and healthcare professionals to intervene promptly.<\/p><p>Beyond monitoring, the headset offers a transformative solution for elderly individuals facing mobility limitations or challenges in verbal communication. By detecting imagined actions through brain signals, users can trigger simple commands and facilitate more independent and effective interaction with caregivers.<\/p><p><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-05c21a6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"05c21a6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-16524be\" data-id=\"16524be\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3e3319 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f3e3319\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ef64cf38-776a-4f38-8cf2-66ef6ac58d08-1140x760.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ef64cf38-776a-4f38-8cf2-66ef6ac58d08-1140x760.jpeg 1140w, https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ef64cf38-776a-4f38-8cf2-66ef6ac58d08-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ef64cf38-776a-4f38-8cf2-66ef6ac58d08-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ef64cf38-776a-4f38-8cf2-66ef6ac58d08-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Fang Wing-san (centre) and Cao Bingrui (right) win first runner-up at the \u201c3 Assistive Devices for Dementia\u201d Design Competition. \n<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":72389,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[10,444,436],"tags":[],"topics":[226],"month":[451],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72369"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/53"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72369"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72390,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72369\/revisions\/72390"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72369"},{"taxonomy":"topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics?post=72369"},{"taxonomy":"month","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/month?post=72369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
