This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program, guided remotely by a therapist, can help older adults with conditions like COPD, asthma, heart failure, or metabolic syndrome. The goal is to improve their health and quality of life without needing to go to a clinic.

This trial tests whether patients with recently implanted heart pumps (LVADs) can safely exercise at home via video calls instead of traveling to a hospital gym. The goal is to help improve fitness and heart function without requiring in-person visits.
This trial tests whether a long-term home exercise program helps people with COPD recover better after a hospital stay for a flare-up. You would exercise at home and may join rehabilitation to improve your breathing and daily life.
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 whether a telehealth exercise program works as well as in-person sessions for people with chronic lung disease. You may join if you recently finished rehab for your lung condition and can walk with or without help.
This study tests whether a supervised home-based exercise program, delivered via video calls, can help people recovering from a COPD flare-up feel stronger and breathe easier, compared with usual care. If you join, you'll have regular online sessions with a rehab team from home.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program done at home through video calls is feasible and helpful for people with chronic health conditions. You would work with your physical therapist or kinesiologist remotely.
