NCT ID NCT07319377
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a digital therapeutic device (exoDTx) – a mobile app that guides personalized resistance exercises at home – to see if it can improve muscle strength in people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). 130 participants will either use the app for 12 weeks or receive standard educational materials. The main goal is to measure changes in knee extension strength.

Active substance
digital therapeutic device (exoDTx) – a mobile app guiding personalized resistance exercises at home
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient, non-drug way to improve muscle strength in older adults with sarcopenia.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (130 people) and the device is still being tested. Results may not apply to everyone, and the app may not be as effective as supervised exercise.
