Summary

This study investigates the effectiveness and implementation of an AI-assisted rehabilitation tool for adults with frailty in the real-world. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does AI-assisted rehabilitation among frail adults improve patients' physical outcomes? Is there a particular subgroup of frail subjects that will benefit most from AI-assisted rehabilitation? Researchers will compare AI-assisted rehabilitation to standard practice (advice and QR link for rehabilitation videos to be done at home) to see if AI-assisted rehabilitation improves clinical outcomes compared to standard practice. Participants will either: Undergo an AI-assisted rehab with the AI-sensor tool or a standard practice post-discharge from community hospitals for 12 weeks. Undergo interval assessments of outcomes. Keep a diary of outpatient rehabilitations (if applicable for the subjects).
