Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis run in flares. Between them a patient can feel well for months, and the clinic appointment they are given may land at a moment when there is nothing to see. When a flare does start, it almost always starts between appointments. Remote monitoring is the attempt to close that gap: an app the patient reports symptoms into, a stool test done at home, a phone or video call instead of a trip to the hospital. In principle it catches flares earlier and saves people journeys they never needed to make. Whether it does either, measured against ordinary clinic care, is what the trials disagree about, and they have never been pooled. This project pools them and produces an answer for flares caught, admissions avoided, and the things patients report about their own lives. It suits someone who wants to see how trial evidence is weighed rather than quoted, and it ends in a submitted paper.
Read up on inflammatory bowel disease and how remote monitoring is meant to work. Help run the search, screen the trials, extract the flare and admission outcomes, and write a section of the paper.
