Smartphone exercise app tested for seniors – but study pulled
NCT ID NCT07411339
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if a personalized exercise app (Gingko Active) could improve physical function in adults aged 45 and older better than a standard exercise booklet. The trial was withdrawn before any participants enrolled, so no results are available. The app was designed to guide users through strength, endurance, and balance exercises at home.
