Feasibility, Acceptability, and Implementability of I-IMPACT for ILD (I-IMPACT ILD)

19 augusti 2026 uppdaterad av: University Hospitals, Leicester

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Implementability of an Asynchronous Digital Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programme (I-IMPACT) Compared With Centre-Based Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Adults With Interstitial Lung Disease.

This is a single-centre, two-arm randomised controlled feasibility trial comparing I-IMPACT, an asynchronous digital rehabilitation programme, with conventional centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation (usual care) in adults with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). The study will be conducted at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, and Glenfield Hospital is the central site for participant recruitment, baseline and longitudinal assessments, and delivery of the in-person usual care arm.

This is a feasibility study; therefore, the primary outcome is feasibility (recruitment, attrition, adherence, and acceptability), and the secondary outcomes comprise preliminary clinical and safety parameters. Outcomes will be assessed through a mixed-methods approach, involving both ILD patients and staff (healthcare professionals) participants.

Detaljerad beskrivning

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a recommended treatment for people living with long-term lung conditions such as Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). The programme helps improve physical ability, symptom management, the ability to carry out everyday activities and mood. Standard programmes are typically delivered twice a week for 6-8 weeks at a hospital or community centre and include tailored exercise and education.

However, attending twice-weekly in-person sessions can be challenging for some individuals due to their symptoms, travel difficulties, or other commitments. To improve access, the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust has developed a digital rehabilitation programme called I-IMPACT, which enables people to participate in rehabilitation from home using a computer, smartphone, or tablet. The platform includes a patient-facing website and an administrative website.

The I-IMPACT patient website includes:

  • Health information
  • Exercise resources with step-by-step video demonstrations
  • Symptom trackers
  • Goal-setting features
  • Support from the clinical and IT team

The study aims to assess whether it is feasible (practical and acceptable) to compare I-IMPACT with a traditional in-person PR programme for people with ILD. In addition, health outcomes, including physical ability, breathlessness, quality of life, mood and safety, will be evaluated.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either I-IMPACT or an in-person programme and will complete assessments at baseline, immediately after the programme, and at six months. Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in two optional interviews.

Healthcare professionals will be invited to complete a questionnaire and an optional interview exploring their views on digital PR and I-IMPACT.

The findings will help determine whether a larger study can be conducted and whether I-IMPACT could be a safe and effective alternative to traditional in-person PR programmes.

Aktiv komparator: Vanlig vård
An outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programme delivered at the UHL NHS Trust. This is an 8-week, twice-weekly supervised programme at Glenfield Hospital.
Experimentell: I-IMPACT

I-IMPACT (Individualised self-Management ProgrAmme for long-term CondiTions) is a digital self-management rehabilitation programme developed by the UHL NHS Trust. The programme is designed for individuals recovering from acute illness and those living with chronic respiratory and cardiac conditions. For this study, the programme will be set so that each participant's primary diagnosis is ILD. I-IMPACT delivers physical and psychological support through a comprehensive set of features.

Participants allocated to the I-IMPACT programme will be able to:

  • Access educational material, both general and diagnosis-specific.
  • Record cardiovascular and strength exercise sessions.
  • Update their symptoms using the health trackers.
  • Create and review personalised goals.
  • Contact their rehabilitation team via the "Ask a Healthcare Professional" feature.
  • Contact technical support for any IT or navigation challenges.
