Video visits may help seniors bounce back from frailty after hospitalization
NCT ID NCT07712276
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether structured video consultations, covering exercise, nutrition, and home care, can help reverse frailty in people aged 60 and older after they leave the hospital. Participants receive three teleconsultation sessions over 12 weeks, plus standard follow-up visits. Researchers measure changes in frailty scores, hand grip strength, and blood markers like interleukin-6 and albumin to see if the program improves health behavior and frailty status.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- structured teleconsultation (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a practical, home-based way to reverse frailty in older adults after a hospital stay, improving their strength and independence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial (116 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. Frailty is complex and may not reverse with teleconsultation alone.
