NCT ID NCT07561021
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week home telerehabilitation program, with real-time coaching and vital sign monitoring, can improve physical function and reduce frailty in older adults with heart failure. Seventy participants will be randomly assigned to either the telerehab program or a caregiver-supervised home exercise routine. The main goal is to see if telerehab boosts exercise capacity and frailty scores more than standard home exercises.
