New program aims to help seniors recover after ICU stays

NCT ID NCT07175961

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a telehealth program for people aged 65 and older who have survived a critical illness in the ICU. Participants get a recovery navigator who helps with discharge planning, coordinates with their doctor, and provides weekly check-in calls for 12 weeks. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce preventable hospital readmissions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Multicomponent telehealth care coordination (recovery navigator, discharge summary, GP coordination, weekly calls)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, scalable way to improve recovery and reduce hospital readmissions for older ICU survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small Phase 3 trial (300 participants) focused on a specific age group and setting, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is supportive, not a cure, and benefits may be modest.
