Home-based Digital Exercise Training Program to Improve Physical Function of Older Sepsis Survivors - HEAL Sepsis Trial

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

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.
