From 16 to 18 June 2017, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Elderly Services Section participated in the first “Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit (GIES)”. During the three-day event, we showcased IT application and services, including Mobile Apps (“Cheers”, “Fuk Lok Mun Sam”, “Funeral Planner”), Anti-wandering System and PARO Therapeutic Visiting Service in response to the needs of elders on safety, psychological health and quality of life.
