Professor George Du Wencai, Dean of the Institute for Data Engineering and Science (IDEAS) at the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) Macao, delivered a keynote speech titled Digital Empowerment for Cognitive Health in Old Age: In the “Intelligent Intervention Framework Integrated with BioFeedback“, in response to the pain points faced by elderly mental health services such as subjective diagnosis and single intervention, a closed-loop system design integrating meditation, cognitive training and wearable technology is proposed. Through biofeedback, meditation and cognitive training are deeply coupled into the intelligent intervention framework, enabling the elderly to transform from passive health recipients to active self-regulators. It has pioneered a new paradigm of data-driven and highly personalized cognitive health intervention for the elderly.
