Mobile health technology to improve emergent frailty after lung transplantation.

We evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a mHealth-supported physical rehabilitation intervention to treat frailty in a pilot study of 18 lung transplant recipients. Frail recipients were defined by a short physical performance battery (SPPB score ≤7). The primary intervention modality was Aidcube, a customizable rehabilitation mHealth platform.

A mobile health technology enabled home-based intervention to treat frailty in adult lung transplant candidates: A pilot study.

Background: Frailty is prevalent in lung transplant candidates (LTC) and is associated with waitlist delisting or death. We performed a pilot study to assess the safety and feasibility of a home-based, mobile health technology-facilitated intervention to treat frailty in LTC.

Methods: We performed an 8-week, nonrandomized, home-based exercise and nutrition intervention in LTC with Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) frailty scores of ≤11.

Moving Pulmonary Rehabilitation Into the Home: A CLINICAL REVIEW.

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is the standard of care for persons with chronic, symptomatic lung disease. The availability of PR is limited, particularly in rural areas. In addition, barriers to PR include the lack of transportation, patient inconvenience, inadequate insurance coverage, and cost.
