Digital coach helps kids heal after heart surgery
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 mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI)-based digital exercise rehabilitation 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.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 130 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The digital program may not work better than standard care, and some children may find it difficult to follow.
