A Web-based Platform to Improve Physical Function, Nutrition, and Mindfulness in Patients With Long COVID

Long COVID

Patients with COVID-19 may experience prolonged physical and psychological symptoms after weeks or months of the infection. This may be caused by a combination of factors including poor nutrition, low physical activity, and lack of emotional support. Leading to poor overall health and low quality of life. This evidence indicated that people with long COVID-19 need a personalized intervention. Our objective is to determine if the use of an online application that is based on preventive self-care and that includes nutrition and mindfulness will be feasible to use for patients with long COVID.
