Summary
This pilot study will test a 12-week telehealth program for frail adults aged 65+ who have just left the hospital. The program includes weekly video sessions with exercise, self-management tips, and peer support, plus activity sensors to track movement. Researchers want to see if it's practical and helpful for improving physical fitness, mood, and reducing hospital visits.

Active substance
Telehealth discharge support programme
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, home-based way to help frail seniors recover better after a hospital stay, reducing readmissions and improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (50 people) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. The results may not apply to all frail older adults, and the program requires digital access and skills.
