Mobile App-Based Remote Management Model for IBD Patient

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the intestines, with its incidence showing a significant year-on-year increase in China. Self-management is becoming increasingly important in the treatment and follow-up of IBD. Numerous studies from Europe and North America have demonstrated that telemedicine can effectively manage disease activity, monitor symptoms, provide education, and improve prognosis. However, its application in China is limited, and there is a lack of high-quality clinical research. This study aims to explore the following objectives: 1. Investigate the level of disease awareness among Chinese IBD patients and their needs related to telemedicine; 2. Develop and preliminarily establish a telemedicine management system and operational process for IBD patients based on a mobile application platform; 3. Clarify the impact of telemedicine on disease activity, quality of life, and healthcare resource utilization among Chinese IBD patients.
