NCT ID NCT07574463

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a digital exercise program that adapts in real time to help children aged 6 to 12 recover after congenital heart disease surgery. Kids wear a monitor and get personalized exercise prompts and feedback. Researchers will compare their recovery to children receiving standard care, looking at fitness, heart function, and how well they stick with the program.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide an effective, personalized digital rehab tool to help children recover faster and more comfortably after heart surgery.
