NCT ID NCT05316584
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a digital health system that reminds people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to take their medication and lets them report symptoms. About 123 adults starting a new oral or injectable treatment will use the system or get standard care for 12 months. The goal is to see if the app improves medication adherence, disease control, and reduces emergency visits.
