Research Centre for Assistive Technology focuses:
1) on the collaborative research among PolyU faculty members and researchers that leads to mid- and upstream studies on assistive technology;
2) on the development of downstream assistive technology products for people with disabilities and the ageing population with the healthcare, social, and industrial sectors; and
3) on nurturing students and young researchers from PolyU through education and scholarly activities to further develop their interests in assistive technology for the benefit of a resilient integrated society in Hong Kong.
Below are the four components of assistive technology:
(1) Human/technology interface
Brain-computer interface
(2) Processor
Wearable device
(3) Activity output
