for Older Adults’ Mental Wellness

Friday 13th November 2020 | 9:15am – 5:20pm (Hong Kong, GMT+08:00)

2:15am – 10:20am (Europe, GMT+01:00) / 12:15pm – 8:20pm (Australia, AEDT, GMT+11:00) /
12th 8:15pm – 13th 4:20am, November 2020 (USA, EST, GMT-05:00)

The evolution of information and communication technologies (ICTs) online and on smartphones had led to the rapid innovations in mental health care. Technology-based interventions have great potential to promote mental wellness in the older population, especially when face-to-face interactions are restricted, like in the current COVID-19 pandemic. Older adults are at increased risk of severe illness under the pandemic. Prolonged stress and social isolation may also take a toll on their mental wellness. Research findings and practice wisdom support the effectiveness and feasibility of delivering non-pharmacological services through ICTs while retaining interpersonal interaction. The Symposium brings together world-renowned speakers to share the latest development in technological innovations to promote well-being in older adults.
