Telemedicine in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (TELE-IBD)
Completed · Phase 3
Conditions studied: Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Indeterminate Colitis
In brief
Improved methods are needed to monitor patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Telemedicine has shown promise in patients with other chronic diseases; pilot testing in our patients with inflammatory bowel disease demonstrated that the technology was feasible and improved clinical outcomes. The telemedicine system for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Tele-IBD) should improve outcomes for patients, improve access to care in areas with limited resources, and decrease health care costs.
