Digital tools to improve care for inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether digital tools, like a smartphone app and a wearable activity tracker, can help monitor your inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). You would use these tools and answer questionnaires to help doctors better understand your condition.

This study is testing a new way to check inflammation in people with active IBD using non-invasive devices (like a smartwatch or sensor). It aims to find a simpler method than blood tests or stool samples, which could help manage your condition more easily.
This study tests whether data from your own smartwatch or smartphone can help detect when your Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis flares up. If you join, you'll use your own device, and no extra equipment will be provided.
This study is gathering information from people with active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and from people without IBD. Researchers will look at samples from the colon to learn more about these conditions.
This trial tests if regular video check-ins via phone or computer can help people with IBD stick to their medications and feel better emotionally. You would use a messaging app and video calls to stay in touch with your care team from home.
This study follows people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) who may be taking immunosuppressants (medicines that calm the immune system). Researchers will track how the disease progresses and look at factors like gut bacteria to find ways to predict complications.
This study tests whether a smartphone app called SMART IBD can help children with IBD take their medications more consistently. It is for children who are currently missing more than 1 in 7 doses of their daily or weekly IBD medication.
