TONGJI UNIVERSITY-RESEARCH CENTER FOR AGING, LANGUAGE AND CARE
The Research Center for Aging, Language and Care at Tongji University was created to address the important issues of language aging and cognitive preservation in the context of global aging, with a particular focus on China’s aging population and the frontiers in aging studies. The Center is among the first independent institutions of its kind in China to adopt multimodal approaches and conduct academic research, personnel training and social services in the field of language aging, cognitive decline, and gerontology.
Utilizing multifaceted disciplinary approaches including linguistics, medicine, gerontology, psychology, sociology and management, the Center conducts fundamental research on linguistic behavior, cognitive pattern and pathomechanism of seniors with dementia. The Center also carries out research and development on early diagnosis, cognitive training, disease management and database construction with the help of Artificial Intelligence technology. We also screen for cognitive impairment and participate in social services, as well as providing think tank suggestions for governments on aging-friendly community construction and aging society management.
The Center has formulated a detailed roadmap covering basic research, clinical applications and health services. Our members have published widely in SCI, SSCI, EI or CSSCI indexing journals or manuscripts with reputable publishers entitled “Multimodality and Special People Speech Studies Series”. The Center has organized several high-level forums on multimodal and language aging studies and actively engaged itself in the development of computer-aided cognitive assessment system and provided the community with health service based on the research outcomes.
