The Director of RISA awarded 1st BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize in “Life and Health” field

Prof. ZHENG Yongping, Director of the Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA), has been awarded the inaugural BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize in the field of “Life and Health”.

Prof. Zheng has obtained more than 50 patents, and he was ranked by Stanford University in the top 2% of the most-cited scientists worldwide in 2021 and 2022. His main research areas are biomedical ultrasound instrumentation, soft tissue elasticity measurement and imaging, 3D ultrasound imaging and smart aging technologies.

The research team led by Prof. Zheng has developed a 3D ultrasound imaging system: Scolioscan, which can provide accurate, safe and cost-effective radiation-free scoliosis assessment. The invention has been applied to clinical assessment in many countries to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis, and to control the condition using non-surgical intervention.
