The School of Nursing and Health Sciences (N&HS) of Hong Kong Metropolitan University plays a leading role in providing flexible and innovative education in nursing and health sciences. Its mission is to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for professional recognition while fostering intellectual growth aligned with the latest advances in the field. “Gerontechnology” is one of the key strategic research areas of N&HS. As such, its first research centre, the “Exergaming Research Centre for Healthy Aging (ERC)”, was established in September 2023 with funding from the University Grants Committee. The centre was created to tackle the challenges of an aging population by developing innovative, game-based activities that support healthy aging. Using gerontechnology, the Centre designs and tests interactive games that help improve the physical health, cognitive abilities, and emotional health of older adults.
