Sustainable, Age-Friendly, and Dementia-Inclusive Community: Digital Innovation x Cognitive Care x Social Inclusion
Since 2018, the College of Nursing at Asia University has been awarded by the Ministry of Education for its Seed, Budding, and Deep-Rooted University Social Responsibility (USR) projects. These projects have focused on the Wufeng District in Taichung City for eight years, emphasizing age-friendly dementia care. The initiative helped establish Wufeng's first dementia community care center, "Bei Liu Yi Station," which won second place in the Taichung City Golden Light Award for "Excellence in Group C Centers." The third phase of the USR project, "Sustainable, Age-Friendly, and Dementia-Inclusive Community," continues to promote sustainable educational innovation and local connections, nurturing a supportive network for elderly dementia care in the community. It aims to sustain the health and well-being of the elderly in Azaowu and cultivate cross-disciplinary talent in smart long-term care innovation and entrepreneurship.
Rural AI Bilingual Learning Companion Program
Is learning confined to the classroom and textbooks? Of course not! Following the pandemic, the proliferation of online teaching platforms has left learners overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. Given that technological development aims to advance human progress and learning, as well as solve human problems, this program seeks to train university students proficient in using technology to assist and teach junior and senior high school students in rural and community settings. By fostering university student companions and integrating AI teaching platforms, the program enables mutual learning and growth between university students and junior and senior high school students.
Guardians of Food Safety and Health
Our team is executing the third phase of the Ministry of Education's University Social Responsibility (USR) project, playing a crucial role as "Guardians of Food Safety and Health." From farm to table, from children to adults, from the elderly to pets, we constantly safeguard the lives of those most important to us. We assist in ensuring food security, food safety, and nutritional needs, along with maintaining overall health.
