Multiple Digital Biomarkers for Optimization of IBD Care

Multiple Digital Biomarkers for Optimization of IBD Care

To develop digital biomarkers associated with disease activity of inflammatory bowel disease

The trial aims to develop digital biomarkers based on a large dataset of imput data. These data come from diffent sources including wearable data, grocery shopping data, patient reported outcome data, laboratory data and technical exam data. A model will be build that predict disease activity in IBD.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Males or females aged > 18 years
• Diagnosis of CD, UC or IBD-unspecified for at least 1 month
• Treatment with conventional or advanced therapy for IBD at initiation of the study
• The patient must have access to an email address
• The patient must be willing to perform all the groceries shopping at any of the Colruyt Group stores during this study, using an Xtra card created by the study team.
• Capacity to independently answer regular digital questionnaires
• Capacity and willingness to use a smartphone and activity tracker

Exclusion Criteria:

• Planned extended (> 1 month) overseas travel during the study period of 12 months, if internet access would be impossible, inconvenient or unaffordable during this time
• Previous colectomy
• Inability to communicate well with investigators or unable to comply with the study requirements
• Significant medical condition interfering with physiological measurements trough a wearable device (heart failure, pacemaker or defibrillator)
• Inclusion or planned inclusion in an interventional IBD-related clinical trial
