NCT07321587 · RECRUITING
Activity Tracking, Care Partner Co-participation, Text Reminders, Instructional Education, Video-Guided Physical Rehabilitation, and Exercise
This small study tests a 3-week walking program for older adults with or without mild dementia and a care partner. It uses a Fitbit, motivational texts, education videos, and virtual physical therapy. Researchers are measuring how much people walk and how much they engage. It is not a drug trial and has no phase, so it is an early look at feasibility.
