Summary

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

Detailed description

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.

Conditions

• Kidney Transplantation
• Frailty
• Chronic Kidney Insufficiency

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Polar H10 Heart Rate Monitor	Wearable sensors to capture movement-based data during physical therapy session. The Polar H10 Heart Rate Monitor measures heart rate and will transfer the data to the mHealth app.
DEVICE	Empatica EmbracePlus	Wearable sensors to capture movement-based data during physical therapy session. The Empatica EmbracePlus measures physiological parameters and will transfer the data to the mHealth app.
DEVICE	Apple Watch Ultra 2	Wearable sensors to capture movement-based data during physical therapy session. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 measures heart rate, will transfer the data to the mHealth app, and will provide an alert when the heart rate is too high or too low.
