Key competition details:
• Open to Hong Kong secondary school students in teams of 2–6
• Each team submits a pitch deck, a 1–3 minute presentation video, and an optional booth concept sketch

This week, the team from Translational Research Centre for Digital Mental Health returned to the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

Building on the success of last year’s event, the Centre took to the HKTDC seminar stage once again with a new session, “Accelerating Mental Health Innovation through AI Research and Adoption”. Dr Fowie Ng shared how AI-driven research can enhance prevention, early identification, and personalisation in mental health care, highlighting real-world opportunities and challenges in implementation. 🧠🤖

The seminar also featured a public discussion panel with Mr Stephen Wong, Deputy Director of MHAHK, and Mr Kevin Yeung, CEO of Radiance Tech Ltd., who explored how cross-sector collaboration, ethical practice, and practical adoption strategies can bring AI-enabled mental health solutions into everyday services.

On the fairgrounds, the TRC-DMH exhibited its new commercial product, EverJoy VR, an evidence-based immersive VR platform designed for older adults living in residential aged care. Through nature-based and reminiscence VR scenarios, EverJoy VR aims to promote relaxation, engagement, and emotional well-being for older adults in care settings. 👨‍🦳👵🌿

Thank you to all the visitors and partners who stopped by our session and exhibition. ❤️
