BRIDGE is aimed at older people with multiple illnesses and depressive symptoms who are transitioning from inpatient treatment back into their own homes. Patients are cared for by an interprofessional team (“BRIDGE team”). In addition to personal consultations, easy-to-use mobile devices are used. This allows patients to take part in digital visits independently and play short videos with instructions for exercise sessions.
