Telemedicine in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (TELE-IBD)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Home Monitoring for Inflammatory Bowel Disease and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 348 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.

Interventions
Participants log onto the TELE-IBD website weekly to answer questions about disease symptoms, adherence, side effects, to check body weight and to receive educational content. Participants receive self action plans after each self-testing session. Alerts are generated to the nurse coordinator if certain clinical criteria are met.
