Acceptability, feasibility, and impact of the MyGut digital health platform in the monitoring and management of inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital health monitoring may help facilitate self-management strategies when caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Aims

This study investigated the feasibility of implementing the MyGut health application when caring for patients with IBD and evaluated whether its use improved health outcomes.

Methods

We conducted a prospective trial in 2 Canadian hospitals from 2020 to 2023. Patients with IBD were recruited from gastroenterology clinics, and the MyGut application was installed onto their mobile devices. Metrics such as acceptability, satisfaction, feasibility, quality-of-life scores (measured through the short IBD questionnaire [SIBDQ]), and resource utilization were collected throughout the 1-year follow-up period.
