A recent study from Mount Sinai researchers reveals that wearable devices can effectively identify, differentiate, and predict flare-ups in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The study involved over 300 participants with IBD who wore wearable devices and provided regular samples to assess inflammation levels.
Key findings show that wearables detect physiological changes associated with IBD, even before symptoms are evident, and can predict flare-ups up to seven weeks in advance.
Implications of the research include early intervention, personalized treatment plans, improved quality of life, and reduced healthcare burden for individuals with IBD.
