An AI-enabled digital collaborative care model significantly improved symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), demonstrating how clinician-guided AI can scale guideline-recommended, multidisciplinary care without overwhelming specialty practices.
In a study published in Neurogastroenterology & Motility, researchers evaluated Ayble Health, a digital collaborative care model (DCCM) that integrates personalized nutrition, brain-gut behavioral therapy (BGBT), and access to a multidisciplinary care team for patients with IBS.
The analysis included 202 patients (median age 41.5 years, 78% women), nearly all of whom engaged with the nutrition pathway, while three-quarters utilized behavioral therapy and clinician support. Most patients selected multiple pathways, with 62% engaging with all three—reflecting both patient preference for integrated care and the flexibility of the digital model.
