Brief Summary
The goal of this interventional trial is to learn about whether a virtual clinic can help patients with post-intensive care unit syndrome regain functional ability. Participants will participate in a 12-month online clinic where they will receive physiotherapy, nutritional planning, mental health support and cognitive strengthening. Functional capacity will be measured throughout the clinic. After, they will be asked questions about their clinic experience, and complete a questionnaire.

Interventions
Participants will complete a mix of mandatory synchronous and asynchronous sessions with their Health Group to address PICS. Participants will spend 15 minutes daily on physiotherapy, and 15 minutes on cognitive therapy. There are also 2h time slots everyday for participants to join for an optional check-in with their health coach, who can support them in their individual activities. Participants will spend 15 minutes weekly responding to journal prompts about nutrition and general challenges.
