Tech-Supported home exercise shows promise for mitochondrial disease
NCT ID NCT06535646
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a home exercise program, supported by a smartwatch and weekly coaching, is practical and acceptable for people with mitochondrial disease. Ten participants followed an 8-week program with remote monitoring. The goal was to see if people would stick with it and find it helpful, not to cure the disease.
