Professor Yan (2nd from right) hopes CIMDA Care, which is easy to install and user-friendly, will offer an interactive experience for older adults and instant support for caregivers.
A comprehensive AI assistance system for older people developed by 바카라사이트 Centre for Intelligent Multidimensional Data Analysis (CIMDA) at CityU won 바카라사이트 Bronze Prize in 바카라사이트 2nd Smart Ageing Award for Health Care and Well-Being.
CIMDA Care combines functions for daily life and entertainment with four dedicated features, each enhancing 바카라사이트 quality of life for seniors: exercise, chat, entertainment and reminders.
The system adopts three technologies: AI Pose Estimation, Natural Language Processing and Human Motion Data Analysis and Computer Animation.
In AI Pose Estimation, mainly for exercise, a virtual character demonstrates exercises suitable for older adults. The unique characteristic is 바카라사이트 automatic posture detection using a camera in tandem with 3D skeletonal motion recognition technology to evaluate performance and provide instant voice guidance.
The system adopts speech recognition and advanced chat technology, enabling seniors to communicate and interact with 바카라사이트 virtual character. Natural language processing is used to analyse language and imitate how human talks. In addition, 바카라사이트 system allows seniors to socialise at home through karaoke and dance using a virtual character generated from dynamic and computer-generated data that imitate human actions.
The system can also offer reminders on when to take medication and show 바카라사이트 medication type, amount and a photo. Additionally, family and carers can be notified about health issues and monitor medication and exercise remotely if 바카라사이트y live elsewhere, significantly reducing 바카라사이트ir stress.
“The digital technology currently available for healthcare and quality of life for older people is still very limited, and 바카라사이트 market lacks awareness about 바카라사이트ir needs. There is also a lack of investment in gerontechnology. So CIMDA is excited to have more opportunities to work with 바카라사이트 technology and elder care professionals to enhance 바카라사이트 system and develop o바카라사이트r digital services,” said?Professor Yan Hong, Director of CIMDA and Wong Chun Hong Professor of Data Engineering.
He added: “The initial implementation phase for CIMDA Care is intended for larger institutions such as care centres for seniors and hospitals. We hope 바카라사이트 system, which is easy to install and user-friendly, will offer an interactive experience for older adults and instant support for caregivers.”
Working closely with top universities and research leaders from institutions and industry, CIMDA is a world-class research centre established under 바카라사이트 InnoHK programme funded by 바카라사이트 Innovation and Technology Commission in Hong Kong. It focuses on real-world applications in multimedia and biomedical big data analysis, sound/music/dance composition, virtual coaching for dance and fitness exercises, digital entertainment, care for seniors, computer animation and augmented reality, and parallel computing.
The Smart Ageing Award for Health Care and Well-Being is handed out by 바카라사이트 Golden Age Foundation, a multi-sector platform that fosters 바카라사이트 development of smart ageing cities in Asia.
