Lillian Hung is a Canadian registered nurse,[1] researcher, and academic known for her work in dementia care, gerontechnology, and participatory health research. She is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC),[2] where she holds a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Senior Care.[3]
Hung also serves as a clinical nurse specialist at Vancouver Coastal Health[4] and is a scientist at the Centre for Advancing Health Outcomes. She is the founder and director of the Innovation in Dementia and Aging (IDEA) Lab at UBC.[5]
Education and clinical background
editAfter completing her Bachelor of Nursing (BN) at the University of Manitoba, Hung began her clinical career as a registered nurse at Rosewood Manor, a long-term care facility in Richmond, British Columbia. She later earned a Master of Arts (MA) in gerontology at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and a PhD in Nursing from UBC.[2]
Academic career and research
editDuring her post-doctoral fellowship at the SFU Gerontology Research Centre, Hung joined the UBC Vancouver School of Nursing as a Clinical Assistant Professor. She was promoted to Assistant Professor in 2020 and Associate Professor in 2024.[6] She holds a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Senior Care and leads the UBC IDEA Lab, which investigates the use of health technologies, such as virtual reality and social robotics, to support older adults and people living with dementia in care settings.[7][8][9][10]
In 2023, Hung's team introduced the LOVOT companion robots at a West Vancouver seniors' residence to study how Canadian older adults interacted with them.[9][11][12] More recently, her team has studied the potential of smaller artificial intelligence-enabled robots intended to help older adults with everyday activities.[13]
