Exercise monitoring sensors for kidney transplant candidates who are frail

This is a small pilot study designed to test whether wearable sensors—small devices worn during exercise—can safely track what happens to your body during physical activity if you are an older adult preparing for a kidney transplant and experiencing frailty. The sensors will collect information like your heart rate and movement, and this data will be sent to a mobile health app so researchers can understand if this approach works well. The goal is to eventually use this information to create future exercise programs that adjust based on what the sensors tell us about how your body is responding.

Many people waiting for kidney transplants are older and frail, which can make surgery and recovery harder. This study is trying to figure out whether wearable sensors can help safely monitor exercise sessions for these patients, so that future exercise programs can be personalized and more effective.
