Title: Telemedicine in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (TELE-IBD)
Brief Summary: Improved methods are needed to monitor patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Telemedicine has shown promise in patients with other chronic diseases; pilot testing in our patients with inflammatory bowel disease demonstrated that the technology was feasible and improved clinical outcomes.

The telemedicine system for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Tele-IBD) should improve outcomes for patients, improve access to care in areas with limited resources, and decrease health care costs.
