Patient Empowerment: Web-based Monitoring in Children and Adolescents With Inflammatory Bowel Disease for Better Quality of Treatment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Web-monitoring for Inflammatory Bowel Disease and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 103 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators hypothesize that E-health - web based monitoring of disease and treatment - in young patients with chronic inflammatory disease (IBD) can improve the disease course and quality of life. Adherence (to take the prescribed medicine) is difficult for young patients. In this E-health project the investigators seek to improve young patients (10-17 years) responsibility for treatment, to empower them and thereby enhance the adherence in order to achieve a more quiet disease course. Through the e-Health program and web-app the disease activity will be presented to the young patient via a simple traffic light chart and the patient will be guided to: continue the prescribed medication, call the physician or visit the out-patient clinic. In future the concept is believed also to be applicable for young patients with other chronic diseases.
