Home exercise with wearables before surgery for frail older adults
This trial tests a home-based exercise program using smart wearable devices to help frail older adults get stronger before major surgery. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce complications after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 65 or older and considered frail
- Having major surgery (not on the heart) that is expected to last longer than 2 hours or cause significant blood loss
- Frail enough to need a pre-surgery exercise program
- Able to give your own consent and follow exercise instructions
- Have at least 2 weeks before surgery to participate
- Own a smartphone with Bluetooth and internet (cellular) connection

This study tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program (tailored exercise and nutrition support before surgery) helps older patients who are frail recover better after hip or knee replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the prehabilitation group or the usual care group.
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.
This study tests a pre-surgery “exercise and health training” program for older adults who are having major surgery and are already less fit than expected. It aims to help people tolerate surgery better and reduce complications by improving fitness beforehand.
This trial tests a home-based exercise and health program that uses a wearable device and smartphone app to help older adults prepare for lung cancer surgery. The goal is to improve fitness and recovery before and after your operation.
This study tests a home-based exercise program using technology (like a smartphone app) to help frail patients get stronger and more independent. The goal is to see if exercising at home can improve your physical function and quality of life.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program before hernia repair surgery helps frail older adults recover better. The program includes physical exercises and breathing muscle training.
