Project Summary
27.8%
of IBD patients experience one or more flares every week
Our goal with this study is to enable citizen science with actionable outcomes. Patients with autoimmune disorders such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) face unpredictable flares, periods of persistent and painful inflammation. Almost one third of patients experience flares on a weekly basis. We need a better understanding of flares and their progression. With our technology, IBD patients will self-collect their samples, during both flares and stable conditions, providing us with an unprecedented snapshot of the immune system. With this opportunity for timely and accessible sampling, we hope to uncover the biological signals underlying flares.
