APSS is very proud to announce that a team of Year 2 students, including Ms Yoyo Ka Yiu CHAN and Ms Teddy Wing Ki LEUNG, from the BA (Hons) Social Work programme were awarded The Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund (HKD 100,000) in Cohort 3 from an entry made when they were in Year 1.
The student team proactively launched AutoShh, a social project addressing the challenges of insomnia, in August 2024. Combining a mobile application with practical services, AutoShh empowers users to track their sleep quality and medication usage, simplifying follow-up appointments with healthcare professionals. This convenient tool aims to improve communication and support for individuals struggling with insomnia. At the heart of AutoShh is the vision: "No one in Hong Kong should face insomnia alone." The team's practical service fosters a sense of community, reducing the isolation often associated with sleep difficulty.
With the support and professional advice of Dr Raymond TAM, Senior Lecturer of APSS and Programme Leader of BA (Hons) in Social Policy and Social Entrepreneurship (SPSE), Mr Sik Chung YEUNG, Lecturer of APSS, and Mr Ken CHAU, Project Associate and also an alumnus of APSS, the team demonstrated unwavering dedication. Their hard work ultimately stood out from other teams and in all assessments.
Let’s take this opportunity to congratulate them on receiving this award!
