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.

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.
