Home-based Digital Exercise Training Program to Improve Physical Function of Older Sepsis Survivors - HEAL Sepsis Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating App-based exercise program and Standard of Care for Exercise Program and Standard Care Control. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Older sepsis survivors have poor physical function and need post-sepsis physical rehabilitation. Often times, sepsis survivors live far from research facilities and do not have access to rehabilitation services. Remotely delivered exercise intervention could be the key to improve physical function in this population. Therefore, the study proposes to recruit older sepsis survivors at discharge from the hospital to home and assign them to either exercise training or standard care.

Interventions
Remotely-controlled, app-guided exercise program
These participants will follow the usual post-sepsis care after returning to home. The participants will be asked to log their daily activities in the app's health diary. The app will be activated for the baseline and follow-up physical function assessments, which will be supervised be a blinded coordinator via a video call.
