Testing a new way to check frailty in hospitalized seniors
This trial studies a new tool that helps doctors measure “frailty” in older adults who are hospitalized. It may help hospitals identify risks earlier and tailor care for seniors who are more vulnerable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 65 or older
- Be admitted to the ACE Unit (a specific hospital unit)
- Be able to walk or move around on your own (not completely unable to walk)
- Do not have end-stage lung, kidney (on dialysis), or heart failure
- If you do not meet the age/unit/mobility needs above, you are likely not eligible

This trial looks at “frailty,” meaning reduced strength and resilience, in older adults with coronary artery disease who are getting heart care. It may help doctors better understand which patients are more at risk and how care decisions could be improved.
This trial tests a telehealth (video-based) rehabilitation program for adults 65+ with heart failure who also show signs of frailty—meaning they're experiencing weakness, slowness, or difficulty with daily activities. The program aims to improve strength, function, and quality of life through guided exercises you can do at home.
This study tests a community-based health intervention for older adults who are showing early signs of frailty. It aims to see if social and community support can help improve your strength and health.
This trial aims to improve how frailty is detected in older adults. It tests a new approach to identify frailty early, which could help prevent health problems.
This study tests if a program designed for older, frail hospital patients can prevent loss of ability to do daily tasks. It focuses on physical activity, mental engagement, and nutrition to help you stay independent.
This study tests whether a smart activity program helps older adults in the hospital who have frailty (feel weak or tired) get stronger and feel better. It focuses on people with kidney problems or on dialysis.
