Effect of TELEmedicine for inflammatory bowel disease on patient activation and self-efficacy.
This study examined the use of a web-based monitoring system called TELEmedicine to remotely monitor changes in patient activation and self-efficacy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. This multicenter, randomized controlled trial enrolled 222 adults with IBD who had experienced an IBD flare within 2 years prior to the trial. Changes in self-efficacy were not significantly different between the two groups although patient activation scores were.

Identifying and planning for individualized change: patient-provider collaboration using lightweight food diaries in healthy eating and irritable bowel syndrome.
This study examined if the use of a photo-based food diary app will help patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) help gather food and symptom data to help their doctors with disease management. The investigators designed and developed Foodprint which includes a mobile and web app and pre-visit note to go to experts which communicate an individual’s expectations and questions. A control group and a group with IBS were used to determine the effectiveness of Foodprint.

Age modifies the association between depressive symptoms and adherence to self-testing with telemedicine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
This study researched the association between age and increased depressive symptoms and adherence to self-testing with telemedicine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It was found that patients 40 and older had worse adherence than patients younger than 40 with depressive symptoms.

Strategies to identify and reduce opioid misuse among patients with gastrointestinal disorders: a systematic scoping review.
In this study, the investigators conducted a systematic scoping review to describe published scientific literature on strategies to identify and reduce opioid misuse among patients with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and disorders. They concluded that prescription drug monitoring and self-management interventions may be promising strategies to identify and reduce opioid misuse in GI care. They suggest that rigorous, empirical research is needed to evaluate the longer-term impact of these strategies.

Tummytrials: a feasibility study of using self-experimentation to detect individualized food triggers.
The researchers designed, developed, and evaluated a mobile app that applies a self experimentation framework to support patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in identifying their personal food triggers. In examining the feasibility of this approach in a field study with 15 IBS patients, they found that participants could use the tool to reliably undergo a self-experiment.

Supporting patient-provider collaboration to identify individual triggers using food and symptom journals.
The researchers examined patient-provider collaboration to interpret patient-generated data. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) management often requires patient-provider collaboration using a patient's food and symptom journal to identify the patient's triggers. Drawing upon individual and collaborative interviews with patients and providers, the researchers found that collaborative review helps improve data comprehension and build mutual trust.

The feasibility, usability, and clinical utility of traditional paper food and symptom journals for patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and clinical utility of paper food and gastrointestinal symptom journals as a data collection tool. Over half of the 17 participants perceived paper journaling of food and symptoms as feasible, usable, and clinically useful. Thirteen participants demonstrated a strong association with at least one symptom and meal nutrient.

Development and pilot testing of an integrated, web-based self-management program for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The researchers developed, assessed, and refined an integrated IBS self-management program (IBS Self-care) and then conducted a 12-week pilot test. They found that the IBS Self-Care program was well received by users who after 12 weeks reported improved knowledge about IBS, but no significant changes in self-efficacy or quality of life.
