Project B
Assistive technology brightens our lives
Project Lead: College of Medicine, College of Biomedical Engineering
This project provides mutual connection and support in three core areas: service and care, industry promotion, and talent cultivation. It supports assistive technology industries to promote services for the disabled. In return, users promote industrial development. Faculty members from the relevant departments bring in resources from the higher education sector and integrate actual services into the ongoing industrial development, thereby improving students’ capacity and their learning outcomes. The three core areas are developed in parallel to further promote assistive technology that benefits society as a whole. (Read More)

Project D
Smart Aging
Project Lead: College of Medicine, College of Biomedical Engineering, College of Interdisciplinary
This project aimed to incorporate community needs into social housing. On the one hand, courses and activities connect public and private sectors to form an all-age-friendly and aging-in-the-right-place living circle. On the other hand, they draw community awareness and strengthen partnerships across the neighborhood relationships, bring about self-empowerment within the community, promote life aesthetics, and enable social housing to form a new model of community building (healthy place making). A new and old co-prosperity and sharing across generations will eventually emerge, resulting in a residential culture of high-quality living. (Read More)
Project E
Medication Safety – Implement Medication Health Protection for E-generation Seniors
Project Lead: College of Pharmacy
Based on a triangular foundation of community co-creation, home care, and digital care, this project collaborates with universities, medical and long-term care institutions and communities to build the “LOHAS Medication Use “Line App. The team organizes activities in the community to discuss experiences of using medication and provides home-based medication services for elderly patients. The project also incorporates talent development elements to improve the accessibility of correct medication information for elderly patients, enhancing their medication knowledge and skills, and building a living circle that ensures healthy medication use for them.
In Taiwan’s future society of aging population and declining birthrate, the ratio gap between medical staff to patients is expected to increase, and this model serves as a new prototype for safeguarding elderly medication use in the e-generation. (Read More)
