Service Highlights

During the year, the EMSD and the Hong Kong Productivity Council jointly developed a Wireless Nurse Call System, which allows patients' remote use in the wards, replacing the traditional nurse call system. The staff can also monitor the real-time status and detect faults of the nurse call units through the Nurse Call System Controller for effective operation.

Mrs Carrie Lam, the then Chief Executive (3rd right), held a press conference on anti-epidemic measures with Mr Alfred Sit, the then Secretary for Innovation and Technology (2nd left), in early 2022 to introduce anti-epidemic technology solutions, such as the Mobile Modular High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter Units designed and developed by the EMSD, and outdoor disinfection robots.

We collaborated with the University of Hong Kong to optimise the chiller system at the Tseung Kwan O Hospital with the adoption of artificial intelligence technology, effectively enhancing the energy efficiency of the system during its operation.

We have installed the Smart Car Park System at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum for real-time display of available parking spaces at the car park entrance. Picture shows our staff installing a sensor at a parking space to detect whether it is occupied (bottom left).

In late 2021, we provided various kinds of technical support to the Legislative Council General Election, including installing and testing the lighting, E&M and electronic equipment and fever screening systems at over 600 polling stations.

In October 2021, we provided a Hiker Safety System for the Orienteering Competition held by the Civil Aid Service. Utilising global positioning technology and the Government-Wide Internet of Things Network, the system can track the locations of participants and allow them to send out SOS signals with their smart watches in case of emergency.
