Prof. LU Shiyu received the Healthy Longevity Catalyst Award (Hong Kong) as Principal Investigator
Prof. LU Shiyu has been named a Principal Investigator awardee in the Healthy Longevity Catalyst Awards (Hong Kong), a regional arm of the Healthy Longevity Global Competition founded by the U.S. National Academy of Medicine. This international program backs bold, early-stage ideas that can extend healthy years of life and accelerate practical solutions for ageing and longevity.
Prof. LU’s winning project—on social prescribing of virtual reality–based urban greenness combined with a peer-support model—will conduct an effectiveness and feasibility study to assess whether immersive exposure to green environments, delivered through VR and embedded in community pathways, can strengthen mental health and well-being among older adults. The study is designed to generate real-world insights on feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact, with the aim of informing scalable, non-pharmacological approaches to support healthy ageing and positioning the work for subsequent phases of the global competition.
