First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a doctor-led counseling program, combined with two smartphone apps (Nutrida and Gamebus), can help older adults (60+) who have had a liver or kidney transplant eat better and be more active. Sixty participants will first receive lifestyle advice, then use the apps for 12 weeks. Researchers will check if people stick with the program and if it improves their diet, activity levels, and health measures.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Digital support tools (Nutrida and Gamebus apps) plus lifestyle counseling

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that smartphone apps are a practical way to help older transplant recipients adopt healthier habits, potentially improving their long-term health.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early feasibility study with only 60 participants and no control group. The apps may not be easy for all older adults to use, and any health improvements may be modest or not last.
