First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether an electronic comprehensive geriatric assessment (eCGA) can be used in primary care for adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will track frailty over 12 months and compare patient self-reports with doctor assessments. A smaller group will also try a personalized exercise program to see if it helps improve physical activity and frailty. The goal is to learn how to better support healthy aging in everyday medical care.
