Population ageing has become a global phenomenon and traditional health systems are under pressure from rising costs, growing consumer expectations in caring for their elderly. With the rapid advance of digital technology, it is increasingly possible to drive early interventions to better manage health outcomes and risks and to provide an effective solution for people with lower healthcare cost. In this talk, Prof. Zheng will highlight recent research work in digital health. The applications to well-being and self-management of chronic conditions will be presented. The presentation will conclude with the discussion of challenges and opportunities in connected health.
