NCT ID NCT06504979
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a digital platform called ICURA to help ICU survivors and their families manage emotional, cognitive, and physical problems that often occur after intensive care. About 360 adults who were in the ICU will be randomly assigned to use the app or receive standard follow-up care. The goal is to see if the app improves quality of life and daily functioning over 12 months.
