Serendipity in integrated care
Our research team is currently working on the use of AI-enhanced algorithms to predict oxygen needs in patients on ambulatory oxygen therapy. The training of the algorithms, for which rich data sets are required, was a challenge for engineers. The solution proposed was to build an automated version of the 6MWT (named A-6MWT). This serendipitous development is currently promoting the revision of current practices, including a more integrated care …
Experience, facilitators, and barriers to the implementation of a multicomponent programme in older people living in the community, +Agil Barcelona
Introduction: The +AGIL Barcelona programme is a multicomponent care intervention for frail older adults (FOAs) living in the community. To improve the programme, it is essential to investigate the experience of all participants. Our objective was to explore the perspective of FOA and professionals about the barriers, facilitators, and improvement elements of the development of the +AGIL Barcelona programme.

How a Developing Country Faces Covid-19 Rehabilitation
The coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has been one of the most significant challenges to public health in recent decades. The heterogeneity of government responses and the varying preparedness of health systems has determined that the pandemic's impact differs from country to country. Chile is no stranger to the challenges posed by rehabilitation in a developing country. We aimed to describe the approach to rehabilitation during the pandemic in …
The Impact of Charlson Comorbidity Index on the Functional Capacity of Covid-19 Survivors
Objective: To determine the association between the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score after discharge with 6-min walk test (6MWT) 1 year after discharge in a cohort of COVID-19 survivors. Methods: In this prospective study, data were collected from a consecutive sample of patients hospitalized for COVID-19. The CCI score was calculated from the comorbidity data. The main outcome was the distance walked in the 6MWT at 1 year after discharge. …
