Summary

This study tests whether a digital rehabilitation platform helps people recover after a living donor liver transplant. 36 adults will be split into two groups: one gets the digital program plus standard education, the other gets standard education only. Researchers will measure physical function, muscle strength, and quality of life before surgery and up to 3 months after discharge.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Digital rehabilitation exercise platform
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a convenient way for liver transplant patients to recover strength and function at home using a digital tool.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 participants. The digital platform may not significantly improve recovery compared to standard education alone.
