Kuan-Yuan (Ken) Wang, MD, PhD

My research is centered around care transition and telemedicine in the older population. I have been fortunate to receive institutional grants that have allowed me to develop a virtual geriatric assessment and provide nutritional consultation to support socially isolated older patients receiving home care in Taiwan. As a co-investigator, I played a pivotal role in the project titled “Envisioning Future Community Mobility, Together: Co-Designing Mixed Reality for the Elderly to Explore Autonomous Vehicles.” This project was recognized with The Healthy Longevity Global Catalyst Award in 2022.
