Virtual postsurgical care for older adults with frailty
This trial tests whether virtual care after surgery helps older adults with frailty recover at home instead of going to a nursing home or rehab. You'll get check-ins via video or phone to support your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 61 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with frailty (a Clinical Frailty Score higher than 4)
- You are having a planned (elective) surgery
- You speak English fluently or comfortably
- You do not live in a nursing home or assisted living before surgery
- You are able to use video calls or phone for follow-up care

This trial tests a virtual follow-up program after surgery, using remote automated monitoring and tablet-based check-ins. It may help with safer recovery by letting the care team follow how you’re doing after you leave the hospital.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
This trial looks at whether “frailty” (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes short- and long-term outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors better predict who could benefit from extra support before and after surgery.
This study tests whether a social robot that you can use with a smartphone or tablet can help reduce frailty (weakness and loss of energy) in people who are caring for their spouse. You will be grouped by your risk level and may receive a personalized robot-based program to support your health and daily life.
This trial tests a program of exercise and support before breast cancer surgery to help older patients recover better. It aims to improve strength and overall health so you can get back to your daily life sooner after the operation.
This study tests a 'prehabilitation' program — gentle exercise and health support before surgery — to see if it can help older adults feel stronger and less frail before going into a planned operation. It is for people 50+ who are a bit frail but can still walk.
