Professor Yick, a faculty member at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University since 1996, is a leading researcher in ergonomic design for healthcare and intimate apparel. Her early interdisciplinary work with hospitals and industry partners resulted in innovative medical textile products, such as pressure therapy gloves for scar treatment, orthotic insoles for diabetic patients, and balance-enhancing footwear for the elderly, significantly improving clinical practices and patient outcomes. In the field of contour fashion and activewear, Professor Yick has pioneered age-friendly bras, sports bras, and compression leggings by integrating advanced technologies like 3D body scanning and finite element modeling to optimize fit, comfort, and performance. Her recent research addresses exercise-induced breast motion in female athletes, leading to the development of a patented Soft Manikin System that uses 4D motion analysis to replicate human movement and soft tissue dynamics. This technology, adopted by industry leaders and used to customize sports bras for elite athletes at the Paris Olympics, has reduced product development timelines and educated young women on science and health. Professor Yick’s biomechanically informed, data-driven approach has earned her multiple patents, international awards, and significant funding, establishing her as a leader in functional apparel and medical textiles, with a lasting impact on quality of life and athletic achievement.
