Jockey Club Caring Communities for Dementia Campaign
With all your love and support, existing users of the guarding-tooth device could continue to use the device until August 2023. Also, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to St. James’ Settlement and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology that paying much effort in this campaign.
By taking the advantage of technology, caregivers could use the guarding-tooth device and crowd-sourcing technology in order to search the people with dementia when they get lost.
As the number of COVID-19 infection case were escalating, ibeacon would be distributed by courier to avoid public gathering and keep everyone in a safe condition. Simultaneously, online videos and teaching materials were prepared for the caregivers to complete the application as well as getting know more about dementia at their own place. In this month, there were around 20 caregivers received ibeacon.

The 7th Golden Age Expo and Summit
JCCPA was delighted to be invited to the 7th Golden Age Expo and Summit held by Golden Age Foundation, to deliver the topic “Social Innovation in Community and Social Capital Building”.
How can we mobilize our community and raise their awareness on taking care elderly? To take Jockey Club Caring Communities for Dementia Campaign as an example, we have adopted bluetooth and crowd-sourcing technology to search for the people with dementia when they get lost. We hoped that citizens could understand more about the needs of elderly especially the one with dementia, then they can provide support and love in the community!
