The work of Associate Professor Tan Hwee Pink of School of Information Systems was cited by Education Minister (Higher Education and Skills) Ong Ye Kung in his speech at the Award Ceremony of the Singapore Teaching and Academic Research Talent Scheme held at SMU School of Law building on July 26. Prof Tan has collaborated with A*STAR and Singapore’s providers of aged care to help keep track of elderly who are living alone. The sensors installed in these homes enable the caregivers to detect any unusual living patterns and be alerted if the elderly need any assistance. Professor Tan was awarded “The Most Outstanding Contribution to Social Behavioural Research to Enable Sustainable Ageing in Place in the World in 2016” during the Global Awards 2016 organised by The Globals, a worldwide publisher specialising in aged care provision, said Minister Ong.
