HKUST Hosts Health Day to Showcase MedTech and Build a Healthy Community (Chinese Version Only)
醫療科技進步有助提升大眾生活質素,但個人身體健康則有賴良好生活習慣。有見及此,香港科技大學(科大)今日(4月11日)舉辦的第三屆同樂日,特別以運動和健康為主題,於校園內設置多個以滑雪、賽車、單車、籃球及拳撃等活動攤位,為現場逾千名科大師生、校友、中小學生和公眾人士,進行體能與智力的大考驗。
除攤位遊戲外,科大亦設置展覽,介紹多個由科大團隊研發的最新醫療科技,涵蓋睡眠測試、檢測癌症細胞成像技術、預防青光眼裝置、視網膜疾病藥物導入及AI牙齒檢測技術。其中科大老齡科學研究中心更提供兩部VR健身單車機,結合虛擬街景,讓參加者由科大踩單車「出發」遊歷九龍市區。此設備平日設置於長者復康中心,旨在提升長者的運動能力及認知能力。
科大現正申請建立香港第三間醫學院,多位同學與現場參與者於校園內一幅標示著「Shaping the Future of Medicine(塑造醫學未來發展)」的大型馬賽克壁畫上,踴躍張貼打氣字句,齊齊「集氣」支持科大推動醫學創新。
