Remote Patient Monitoring and Connected Technologies in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (GI & Hepatology)

Remote patient monitoring is steadily reshaping chronic disease care, but its role in inflammatory bowel disease is only now coming into focus. This comprehensive review traces how connected technologies—ranging from home biomarker testing and wearable sensors to passive physiologic monitoring—are being adapted for IBD, drawing lessons from cardiology, endocrinology, and psychiatry. It highlights promising signals around earlier flare detection, patient engagement, and proactive care, while also confronting the unresolved challenges of adherence, regulation, reimbursement, and workflow integration. What emerges is not a finished solution, but a rapidly evolving model of care whose real impact on IBD management is still being defined.
