Zoom-Based program aims to get seniors moving with help from friends
NCT ID NCT06007664
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a 6-week program called T-VIDA, where seniors in a housing community met with an occupational therapist via Zoom and joined group sessions to increase physical activity. The program also involved respected community members to encourage participation. With only 8 participants, the goal was to see if this approach is feasible and helpful for reducing physical inactivity.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tele-Video to Improve Daily Activity (T-VIDA) program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a practical way to help older adults become more active and reduce physical inactivity.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 8 participants, so results may not apply to larger groups. The program's effectiveness is still uncertain.
