NCT ID NCT06997822
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called I-CARE that combines remote support through a smartphone app (LINE Bot) with in-person visits to a recovery clinic. The goal is to help people who survived a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) recover more fully and avoid unplanned hospital visits. The study will include 240 ICU survivors and track their health outcomes for six months.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could provide a practical model to improve recovery and reduce emergency visits for ICU survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with 240 participants, so results may not apply to all ICU survivors. The program relies on smartphone access, which may limit who can benefit.
