About

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has supported CUHK to launch a three-year project 'CUHK Jockey Club HOPE4Care Programme' to implement four evidence-based advanced rehabilitation technologies in 40 local elderly day care centres and rehabilitation centres, to benefit the community.

Our research team had developed the "Augmented Reality (AR) Rehabilitation Training System" that can be used as tools for rehabilitation by individuals who have suffered from a stroke or elderly. The system facilitates an active rehabilitative exercise.
