Vibrating watch could keep hospital patients moving
NCT ID NCT07492745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a vibrating reminder watch can encourage hospital patients to be more active. Many older patients lose strength and independence during a hospital stay due to inactivity. The watch vibrates several times a day to remind patients to walk or do simple exercises. The trial will include 204 frail patients aged 50 and older.
