Dual Immersive and Non-Immersive Virtual Reality on Prospective Memory of People with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Patients with mild cognitive impairment who completed the Dual Immersive and Non-Immersive VR training programme showed significant improvement in their prospective memory. Patients could practise instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) tasks such as household tasks, public transportation and shopping. This pilot study has been accepted for poster presentation in HA convention 2024.

 

3D Printed UC Device-Assisted Peritoneal Dialysis

The Ultra-bag Connecting Device (UC Device) has been successfully assisting patients in performing self-continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) safely and independently since 2006. Since 2017, the UCH Occupational Therapy Department has also integrated 3D printing technology into the fabrication of renal devices. Our first patented UC device was featured in multiple press reports in 2021, and the OT Department was invited to share at the 5th International Congress of Chinese Nephrologists and the Hong Kong Society of Nephrology Annual Scientific Meeting in 2024.
 

3D Printed Puff Adaptor - Asian Pacific Society of Respirology (APSR 2024)

The pilot trial of puff adaptor devices in UCH out-patient and in-patient respiratory ward commenced in August 2022. With the application of the 3D-printed puff adaptor, all patients were able to administer the pressurized metered-dose inhalers independently. This pilot study had been accepted for poster presentation in the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology 2024.

3P Printed Turnbuckle Serial Stretching Splint

A newly designed serial stretching splint (“turnbuckle”) has been developed by fixing the turnbuckle parts of snow boot on a 3D-print base. The innovative design was easy-to-use and the responsible Patient Care Assistant Mr. CM Cheung has received the KEC SPOT Award, recognizing his effort and innovation. 

Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) - 智醒樂與路

Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) was developed to address road safety for patients with cognitive impairment. Patients could practise street-crossing tasks in a high-fidelity and safe virtual environment.
