Preventive healthcare through digital health cloud-based platform

Patients with chronic diseases are often unaware of their condition, and are exposed to a higher risk of major life-threatening complications. This project proposed to combine Automatic Retinal Image Analysis (ARIA), a pioneering non-invasive retinal imaging analysis can be used in tandem with AI and machine learning to screening various diseases such as diabetes and stroke. The platform also provides traditional Chinese medicine advice as an intervention to reduce the risk of those diseases.

The project is led by Prof. Benny Zee (The Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care) and is being handled by a TSSSU (Technology Start-up Support Scheme for Universities) company.

Universities have a responsibility to bring about sustainable development in society. They are expected to be responsive to pressing societal issues and sustainability challenges and to act to integrate changes in internal organization, knowledge creation, educational models, information technologies, social responsibility and knowledge transfer.

 

As one of Hong Kong’s pioneering universities, CUHK takes a holistic approach to social responsibility, connecting and articulating its vision, goals and priorities to guide planning and management practices. We are resolved to establish ourselves at the forefront of social responsibility and to address various sustainable development targets, ranging from health to education, inclusion to partnerships, and climate action to responsible processes.

 

The University seeks to ensure that all its members understand and identify with CUHK’s values and are engaged in the quest for a sustainable world both for themselves and for those who follow in their footsteps.
