AI and Gamification Enhance Elderly Care and Medical Education in Taiwan

Asia University's Department of Long-Term Care Nursing is collaborating with long-term care institutions to develop multi-sensory game tools combined with AI data analysis to monitor the physical strength and cognitive status of the elderly. Students and seniors are participating in interactive sessions where AI helps optimize human resources, allowing one staff member to engage multiple seniors simultaneously. The department also uses an AI tracking system to evaluate seniors' progress and identify any decline in physical or cognitive functions. Meanwhile, Chung Shan Medical University hosted a 'Little Medical Innovator' event, featuring immersive challenges on AI medical applications, organ transplantation, and emergency skills. These games aim to educate children and parents about medical knowledge and professions, including AI's role in precision medicine and the importance of organ donation.
