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
