Dr. Huei-Ling Chiu is an Associate Professor at the School of Gerontology and Long-Term Care at Taipei Medical University (TMU). Dr. Chiu specializes in dementia care, long-term care, and nursing, with a research focus on enhancing cognitive functions, especially executive function, in older adults. She has been recognized for her excellence in teaching, receiving TMU's Outstanding Teaching Award.

Her current research projects include:

• Effectiveness of Interactive AR Motion-Sensing Games on Cognitive and Social Function in Older Adults with Cognitive Decline in Urban and Rural Communities (1/3)
  • This study explores how interactive augmented reality (AR) motion-sensing games impact the cognitive and social functions of older adults experiencing cognitive decline in different community settings. (Funded by the National Science and Technology Council, 2024–2025)
• The Effectiveness of Game-Based Learning in Reducing Dementia Stigma
  • This project investigates how game-based learning interventions in adult daycare centers can mitigate the stigma associated with dementia. (Funded by the National Science and Technology Council, 2024–2025)
• Long-Term Effects of Community-Based Activities on Cognitive Function, Gait Performance, and Fall Prevention in Older Adults
  • This research examines the prolonged impact of community-based programs on cognitive function, gait performance, and fall prevention among older adults. (Funded by the National Science and Technology Council, 2024–2025)

Dr. Chiu's work is dedicated to advancing gerontology and long-term care, fostering innovative approaches to improve cognitive health and early detection of cognitive decline in aging populations.

Cognitive Health and Older Adults (CHOA) Associate Professor Huei-Ling Chiu leads a lab from the School of Gerontology and Long-Term Care at Taipei Medical University, Taiwan. The lab focuses on research areas including cognitive function, executive function, dementia-friendly initiatives, rural older adult care, and health promotion. With a background in nursing and experience as an emergency nurse in a medical center, Professor Chiu observed the challenges older adults face in acute medical settings, which inspired her to transition from clinical practice to education and research. Her primary goal is to enhance early intervention and disease prevention among older adults through academic research and educational outreach. The lab is committed to improving dementia awareness, health promotion, and the importance of proactive healthcare in aging populations. The CHOA Lab comprises a diverse team of researchers and students dedicated to advancing the field of gerontology and long-term care. Their collaborative efforts contribute to a deeper understanding of cognitive health in older adults and the development of effective interventions to promote well-being in this population.
