The Jockey Club “age at home” Gerontech Education and Rental Service is a pilot scheme aiming to enhance the understanding on gerontechnology and its applications, in order to build up the capability and confidence of “ageing in place” among older persons and their carers. The scheme covers three types of services: Education Service, Rental Service together with Cleaning and Maintenance Service, supported by three core operators with their respective professional services.
Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit (GIES) is a flagship event jointly hosted by the HKSAR Government and the HKCSS, and co-organised with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, to promote technological application and innovation as a promising solution to enhance the quality of life of the elderly and people with disabilities in both the community and institutional setting.
The Innovation and Technology Fund for Application in Elderly and Rehabilitation Care has been set up by the HKSAR Government in December 2018 to subsidise elderly and rehabilitation service units to procure, rent and trial use technology products, so as to improve the quality of life of service users as well as reduce the burden and pressure of care staff and carers.
