Explore the challenges presented by Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of PolyU and let them inspire your innovative solutions for the PolyU International Future Challenge!  

Objective: Evaluate, monitor, and promote healthy lifestyle behaviors using evidence-based digital solutions to enhance longevity and reduce non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

 

1. Digital Biomarkers & Phenotyping

  • AI and machine learning for systematic identification and validation of health indicators
  • Integration of wearable technology and IoT for real-time health monitoring

 

2. Chronic Disease Management

  • AI-assisted programmes for lifestyle modification (e.g., diet, exercise)
  • Telehealth and mobile apps for self-management of metabolic and cardiovascular conditions

 

3. Preventive Health Technologies

  • Virtual/augmented reality for health education and behavioral training
  • Robotics and IoT for personalized health interventions
Objective: Regulate mental and cognitive health through mobile and digital technologies to mitigate anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.
 

1. Circadian Rhythm Optimization

  • Digital tools for sleep regulation and circadian cycle management
  • Wearables and apps to track and improve sleep quality

 

2. Mindfulness & Resilience Building

  • AI-driven mindfulness and meditation platforms
  • Gamified stress-management applications

 

3. Cognitive Health Monitoring

  • Early detection of mental fatigue or decline via digital phenotyping
  • Adaptive apps to reduce digital overuse while promoting brain health

Objective: Develop innovative technological solutions to delay, manage, or mitigate dementia progression through early detection and intervention.

 

1. Early Risk Detection

  • AI analysis of digital biomarkers (e.g., speech, movement) for early dementia signs
    • Genetic and lifestyle risk factor integration via big data analytics

     

    2. Therapeutic Interventions
