Prehabilitation for Kidney Transplant Candidates

Enabling Access to Prehabilitation for Kidney Transplant Candidates Who Are Frail

This interventional trial seeks to determine the feasibility of wearable sensors to provide data from patients while undergoing supervised exercise.

This pilot study is a prospective, non-randomized, interventional trial of measures of prehabilitation in kidney transplant candidates who are frail. Kidney transplant candidates who meet criteria for the study will have wearable sensors placed for monitoring during the exercise session of their prehabilitation. The sensors will capture data during the single exercise session and transfer the data to a mobile health (mHealth) platform. The study aims to use the information from the sensors to develop future studies where the exercise is adjusted based on the sensor reports.
