Home rehab program aims to keep heart patients out of hospital
NCT ID NCT07599306
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 4-month structured telerehabilitation program, delivered via video calls and an app, can reduce deaths and hospital readmissions in heart patients who have Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). About 326 adults aged 30-75 who were in the ICU for at least 48 hours will be randomly assigned to either the telerehab program plus standard care, or standard care alone. The program includes exercise sessions, psychological support, and nutritional counseling, all done from home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
telerehabilitation program (exercise, psychological support, nutritional counseling via video calls and app)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical home-based rehab program to help heart patients recover more fully after intensive care and reduce their risk of returning to the hospital.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (326 people) testing a complex program. The results may not apply to all patients, and the extra effort of telerehab might not provide clear benefits over standard care.
