About
Professor Connie Chong is an Assistant Professor at the Nethersole School of Nursing, within the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She holds registration as a nurse and has garnered extensive clinical experience in both medicine and paediatrics. Her research is primarily anchored in contextual behavioural science (CBS), with a particular emphasis on applying and evaluating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for family caregivers of children who have special needs and chronic conditions. Professor Chong has garnered recognition through her publications, invited presentations, research awards, and competitive grants from the Food and Health Bureau, the Innovation and Technology Fund, and the University Grants Committee, positioning her as a leading local academic in applying CBS research frameworks to caregiving contexts. Recently, Professor Chong has expanded her research focus to include the application of machine learning and natural language processing techniques in CBS-related psychotherapies. Her innovative endeavours have led to the development of Pai.ACT, a pioneering mobile application featuring the world’s first patented integration of deep-learning algorithms with ACT. This app is specifically tailored for family caregivers of children with special needs, offering tiered emotional support through an AI chatbot that delivers personalised ACT therapeutic dialogues based on the user’s psychological needs and escalates to live online counselling as necessary. Pai.ACT has achieved various non-provisional patents and has been highlighted in numerous media reports. The invention was awarded a gold medal at the 49th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva and a silver medal at the 2024 Silicon Valley International Inventions Exhibition in the United States.
