“Health Technology & Innovation”

Participants are encouraged to:

• Identify a real-world health-related problem and propose innovative solutions; or
• Conduct research projects at a manageable scale for school-level exploration; or
• Communicate scientific ideas on latest advances in health technology & innovation.

Here are some suggestions for your inspiration:

Topic 1: Explore health data from Hong Kong and develop web-based dashboard

• Use open health data from the Hong Kong government (data.gov.hk) to explore trends in diseases over time. Students can investigate how factors like the environment, population age, or lifestyle choices might be related to changes in health patterns. E.g. examining how air pollution affects hospital admissions, how an ageing population impacts certain diseases, etc. Students can develop a web-based dashboard to enable interactive visualisation and exploration of the data.

Topic 2: Develop mobile apps to collect health data

• Design mobile apps to harness various in-built sensors of a mobile phone, such as camera, microphone, and movement sensors, to collect health-related data. E.g. monitoring mental fatigue based on eye movements, using augmented reality to guide and analyse posture, etc.

Topic 3: Develop an AI-enabled medicine dispenser for elderly with chronic medication need

• Develop a mechanical-electronic device that can sort drug tablets based on shape and colour, and dispense them in accordance to the doctor’s prescription to improve treatment compliance of elderly people.

Topic 4: Design of an adjustable ergonomic chair to support good posture

• Develop a prototype of an adjustable ergonomic chair with built-in sensors and adjustable arm-rests to improve posture of the user.

Topic 5: Design of molecular biomarkers for environmental pollutants

• Develop and test simple biochemical assays to test the presence of environmental pollutants in the household.

Topic 6: Develop an AI chatbot for health and nutritional advice

• Develop an AI-powered chatbot that can provide personalised health and nutritional guidance based on user input, and offer reliable, evidence-based information to help individuals make informed daily dietary choices based on health goals and available meal choices.

Topic 7: Other relevant topics related to Health Technology & Innovation

• A 1-hour online seminar on “Health Technology & Innovation” along with a brief introduction of the competition and 30-minute Q&A breakout session via Zoom will be conducted at 5 p.m. on 16 January, 2026 (Fri).
• A Zoom link will be sent to the registered teachers’ and participants’ email.
• The Online Seminar presentation deck will be available after the session.

E-Submission of Poster

• Teams are required to submit a one-page poster in PDF format (size A0) that highlights (an) innovative concept(s), creative design, and original illustrations, via the submission portal on or before March 30, 2026 (Mon).

Project Showcase Expo
