NCT ID NCT06891573

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a smartphone app called SUPERAGING in 40 frail or pre-frail adults aged 60-90. For 16 weeks, the app provides personalized exercise, brain games, nutrition tips, and disease management. The main goal is to see if people will stick with the app and find it safe, not yet to prove it improves frailty.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

SUPERAGING smartphone app (behavioral intervention: exercise, cognitive training, nutrition education, disease education)

What this could lead to

If successful, this app could offer a convenient way to help frail older adults improve their strength, thinking, and overall health at home.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants. It focuses on whether people will use the app, not on proving it works. Results may not apply to everyone.
