Pioneering Holistic Support for Dementia Patients and Caregivers in Hong Kong

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 November 2025 – Chubb Life Hong Kong today announced the launch of the Side by Side Dementia Insurance Plan (Side by Side), Hong Kong’s first standalone policy dedicated to supporting individuals with dementia and their caregivers. Side by Side offers a simple application process, benefits payable upon initial diagnosis of both moderate dementia and severe dementia, and holistic end-to-end support, building on Chubb Life Hong Kong’s deep understanding of and commitment to address the evolving needs of the silver aged community.

A panel discussion was held at the kick-off event of Side-by-Side Dementia Film Festival. Leading voices in the field of dementia care and advocacy — including (from left to right) Queenie Man, Founder & CEO of The Project Futurus; Alison Lim, Singaporean early-onset dementia advocate and founder of Dementia & Co; Belinda Au, President of Chubb Life Hong Kong and Head of North Asia; and celebrity caregiver Vincci Cheuk, shared insights into dementia and caregiving. Together with caregivers and experts, they opened a safer, more informed space for dialogue around dementia.

Hong Kong faces a significant demographic shift, with one in three residents expected to be aged 65 or above by 20461, and dementia cases projected to exceed 390,000 by 20452. The burden on families is substantial, with an alarming 42% of family caregivers reporting depression3.

Designed in response to critical care challenges faced by dementia patients and their families, Side by Side provides holistic support throughout the long-term dementia journey, offering both financial and emotional lifelines. Key features include:

  • Early detection and diagnosis: Complimentary cognitive assessments4 for the Insured and designated family members, prioritizing early prevention.
  • Financial support: Benefits payable upon initial diagnosis of both moderate dementia and severe dementia. Continuing Care Benefit provides long-term monthly payouts after the severe dementia benefit is paid.
  • Flexible settlement options5: Choice of lump sum or monthly installment plan for severe dementia benefits.
  • Premium waiver: All future premiums waived after a severe dementia diagnosis.
  • Management continuity: Appointment of a designated successor owner6 to minimize complicated procedures if the original owner becomes mentally incapacitated.
  • Simple application: Answering just one health question and no medical underwriting required.

Recognizing the burden on caregivers, Side by Side includes a Caregiver Support Benefit, reimbursing professional counselling expenses after the insured is diagnosed with severe dementia. In addition, the Step by Step Care value-added service4, available in Hong Kong, Macau, and designated Greater Bay Area cities, grants families access to personal case management, early cognitive assessment, daily living support, therapy services, and ongoing training programs – all designed to provide accessible and personalized support.

Belinda Au, President of Chubb Life Hong Kong and Head of North Asia, said, “Introducing Hong Kong’s first dedicated dementia insurance plan, Side by Side, is more than a product innovation – it is a reflection of our commitment to building a stronger, more connected community. What sets Side by Side apart is its holistic approach with a special focus on supporting caregivers, because we understand that dementia touches not only individuals, but everyone around them. Side by Side is designed to provide practical solutions and emotional support at every stage of the journey.”

Side by Side is the latest addition to Chubb Life Hong Kong’s signature Silver Life product series, which is specifically tailored for silver age customers. The series offers comprehensive solutions, including life protection, hospital and surgical cash coverage, cancer protection coverage, and now, dedicated dementia coverage.

From PolyU Research to Geneva Global Debut: GOOD Vision oka³y! ™ Redefines Precision in Freeform Orthokeratology

Published

on

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 March 2026 – GOOD Vision Technologies Co., Limited, a pioneer in ophthalmic optics and diagnostics, today announced the global debut of oka³y!™, a first-of-its-kind “3A” Freeform Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) solution. Unveiled at the 51st International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, the technology solves the industry’s most persistent hurdles by leveraging proprietary AI and freeform optics: AI-guided fitting, Astigmatic precision, and Asymmetric cornea alignment.

Beyond Traditional Toric Lenses: The Future of Freeform Orthokeratology

With myopia expected to affect 50% of the world’s population by 2050, demand for effective management is high. While Ortho-K is a highly effective strategy, traditional symmetric and spherical/ toric designs often underestimate corneal shape complexity, causing lens decentration and poor visual outcomes.

The oka³y!™ freeform technology, incorporating the company’s proprietary FAST-360 and CORe Technology, surpasses traditional lens design. AI-based FAST-360 reconstructs missing corneal data for faster scans, while CORe ensures precise alignment with the visual axis, leading to 3.1 times greater stability.

Precision Myopia Correction and Control for High Astigmatism and Asymmetric Corneas

For optometrists and clinic owners, oka³y!™’s key benefit is improving workflow by automating complex mathematics, cutting chair time by 64%. This boosts myopia management capacity without extra staff or lengthy training. “As a registered optometrist in Hong Kong and a researcher in one of the world’s leading optometric institutes, I witnessed a growing gap between the number of patients seeking Ortho-K and the limited range of conventional products available to treat them,” says Dr. Kin Ho Chan, Ken, the lead inventor of oka³y!™. “By focusing on the ‘3A’: AI-guided, Astigmatism, and Asymmetry, and working alongside The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Poly U), we have developed a design that not only delivers superior vision but also enhances safety by reducing corneal staining. We are turning a frustrating, manual trial-and-error process into a predictable one-click adjustment.”

From Niche Specialty to Global Enterprise: Scaling the Future of Eye Care

As myopia rates reach epidemic levels, GOOD Vision partners with PolyU, harnessing its research strengths and support from its startup ecosystem PolyVentures, to redefine primary eye care by transforming a niche specialty into a scalable global enterprise. By replacing manual OK lens design with oka³y!™, the company has created a technology bridging clinical complexity and scalability. This transition enables practitioners to manage myopia, high astigmatism, and asymmetrical cases precisely, removing barriers to modern refractive error management.

“By embedding and automating the complex mathematics of lens design, we provide clinicians with the tools to treat ‘difficult’ patients who were previously considered unsuitable for Ortho-K,” added Professor Chea-su Kee, Founder of GOOD Vision. “This is about elevating the global standard of care and ensuring that precision myopia management is accessible to the next generation on a global scale.”

Experience the Future of Myopia Control

GOOD Vision invites investors, distributors, and practitioners to a live demonstration of the oka³y!™ at the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva:

  • Location: PolyU Delegation Booth, Hall 2, Palexpo, CP 112, Route François-Peyrot 30, 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex, Geneva, Switzerland
  • Dates: 11–15 March 2026
