New tool aims to keep IBD patients out of the ER
NCT ID NCT07167836
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an automated tool that uses patient risk levels to remind people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) when they need follow-up appointments. Researchers will compare how often patients are overdue for visits and whether this leads to fewer emergency room trips or hospital stays. The goal is to improve ongoing disease management, not to cure IBD.
