Remote Check-Ups for seniors: are they as good as the real thing?
NCT ID NCT07235267
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether doing simple mobility tests (like standing up from a chair or walking a short distance) over a video call works as well as doing them in person. Researchers will test 180 people—older adults aged 65+ and younger adults aged 18-44—to see if remote assessments are reliable and practical. The goal is to make it easier for older adults to get checked without having to travel to a clinic.
