Clinical Trial Summary

Multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial providing mobile health supported physical rehabilitation to 120 patients who have been critically ill with COVID-19 and who complete at least one exercise session.

Description:

REmotely Monitored, Mhealth (REMM) supported High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to improve recovery after hospital discharge in patients with COVID-19 will evaluate the feasibility of clinical-, physiological- and patient-centered outcomes associated with a remotely monitored, mobile health-supported high intensity interval rehabilitation exercise training to improve the functional recovery of survivors who have experienced critical illness with COVID-19 and have been discharged home from the hospital.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Recruiting
• Enrollment: 120
• Est. completion date: June 1, 2027
• Est. primary completion date: March 1, 2027
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: All
• Age group: 18 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Primary diagnosis of COVID-19 requiring hospital admission

• Discharged or expected to be discharged directly home from the hospital (not to a skilled nursing facility, inpatient rehabilitation center, or long-term acute care hospital)

• Able to ambulate with or without a gait aid prior to hospital discharge

• Age = 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

• Hospital discharge > 60 days unless readmitted to hospital in first 30 days, then 60 day window restarts and new exclusion is last hospital discharge > 60 days

• Not ambulating independently prior to COVID-19 illness (use of a gait aid permitted)

• Functional impairment resulting in inability to exercise at baseline

• Inability or unwillingness to comply with the study requirements or unable or unwilling to follow coaching via mobile-health iPhone interaction

• Any absolute contraindications to exercise, including but not limited to:

• Recent (< 5 days) acute primary cardiac event

• Unstable Angina

• Uncontrolled dysrhythmias causing symptoms or hemodynamic compromise

• Uncontrolled hypertension over 255 mmHg Systolic or 155 diastolic blood pressure

• Symptomatic aortic stenosis

• Uncontrolled symptomatic heart failure

• Acute myocarditis or pericarditis

• Suspected or known dissecting aneurysm

• Any adverse changes during IST (i.e., persistent oxygen saturation drop below 88% while on prescribed oxygen therapy or significant hypotension such as mean arterial blood pressure < 60 mmHg on 2 consecutive readings within 1 minute)

• High risk for non-adherence as determined by screening evaluation

• Any condition, including cognitive impairment, that, in the judgment of the investigator, precludes participation because it could affect subject safety or ability of subject to complete the study

• Pregnant

Intervention

Behavioral:
• REmotely monitored, Mobile health supported Multidomain Rehabilitation Program with High Intensity Interval Training (REMM-HIIT)
REmotely Monitored, Mobile health-supported, High Intensity Interval Training consists of remotely monitored tailored, structured, progressive multidomain physical rehabilitation & personalized instruction & coaching. Patients complete 3 structured exercise sessions/week consisting of HIIT, strength, balance, and mobility exercises. Following warmup, patients increase workload at a heart rate corresponding to 95% VO2peak for 1-minute before returning to warm-up speed for 1-minute at a heart rate corresponding to 60% VO2peak. Strength includes functional strengthening exercises for lower extremities & general resistance exercises for major muscle groups. Balance incorporates static & dynamic exercises, including progressively narrowing base of support with eyes open or closed, reaching forward & backward starting within base of support & progressing to outside base of support. Mobility rehabilitation includes dynamic start/stop while walking and changing direction while walking.
