Mobile-based program improves healthy eating of ulcerative colitis patients: A pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dietary management plays a crucial role in the treatment of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). While various e-services provide dietary advice, the long-term dietary management requires continuous monitoring and dynamic adjustment to accommodate the evolving nature of the disease and meet the patients' nutritional needs. Consequently, the development of a novel dietary management tool that incorporates diet tracking, personalized nutritional feedback, and evidence-based advice becomes imperative. This study aims to address this need by developing a WeChat applet called "HealthyGut" specifically designed for the dietary management of UC patients, and evaluate its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy.

Methods

A total of 134 UC patients were equal
