Summary

This completed trial tested a family-participatory early rehab program delivered via a mobile app for 204 critically ill ICU patients. The goal was to see if it could improve sleep quality and reduce feelings of stigma compared to standard ICU care. The approach involves training family members to guide simple rehab exercises using the app.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve sleep and reduce stigma for ICU patients, making recovery less distressing.
