Core Tip	This letter commends Loschi et al’s tele-rehabilitation study for frail cirrhotic transplant candidates (low-resource focus, low-tech cost-effectiveness, adherent patient improvements) while noting key challenges (high attrition, unaddressed frailty heterogeneity, lack of real-time biomarkers). It proposes artificial intelligence-driven personalization, wearable applications, and a three-tiered intervention, urging advancement of telehealth to precision care.
