What this trial studies

This feasibility randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile app that delivers customized interventions to improve symptoms of frailty in older adults. Participants aged 60-90 will engage in a 16-week program that includes physical exercise, cognitive training, nutritional guidance, and disease management, all facilitated through the app. The study will primarily assess adherence, retention rates, and recruitment rates to determine the applicability of this intervention for frail individuals.
