Our Hong Kong Foundation has released its research report on gerontechnology in Hong Kong, entitled “Gerontechnology Landscape Report”. The landscape report studies and identifies the relevant stakeholders and the different gaps and difficulties within the gerontechnology ecosystem. A selection of available gerontechnology products and services in Hong Kong are also explored within four categories: healthcare, food, living and transport.

With a rapidly ageing population and a declining labour force, technology within the elderly health care sector is becoming increasingly important. Gerontechnology could be the key to tackling the problems ahead, and allow Hong Kong to turn these challenges into a golden opportunity to transform into a technologically advanced city, hence benefit seniors and their caregivers.
