Summary

Currently, the older adult population faces an increase in the prevalence of cardiopulmonary diseases, which negatively impact their quality of life by limiting their ability to perform daily activities and affecting their physical and emotional well-being. In particular, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among older adults in Colombia. Despite advances in pharmacological treatment and medical care, physical rehabilitation remains an essential component in the management of these diseases, with physical exercise serving as one of its fundamental pillars. However, access to physical rehabilitation programs for the older adult population, particularly in rural or hard-to-reach areas, continues to pose a significant challenge. Telemedicine and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have emerged as viable solutions to overcome this barrier, enabling the remote prescription and monitoring of physical exercises, facilitating the inclusion of more patients in rehabilitation programs, and improving their quality of life. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent ICT-mediated intervention in terms of improving physical condition, reducing frailty, adherence, satisfaction, and quality of life in older adults with cardiopulmonary diseases.
