Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of using wearable sensors to monitor frail kidney transplant candidates during supervised exercise sessions. Participants will wear devices such as heart rate monitors and smartwatches to collect data on their physical activity. The information gathered will be transferred to a mobile health platform, aiming to inform future studies that tailor exercise regimens based on real-time sensor feedback. The study focuses on improving prehabilitation strategies for individuals awaiting kidney transplants.
