What did the study find?<\/h2>\nInflammatory flares (based on blood tests)<\/h3>\n\n- HRV patterns changed during inflammatory flares, compared with remission.<\/li>\n
- HR and RHR were higher during inflammatory flares.<\/li>\n
- People took fewer steps during inflammatory flares.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Symptomatic flares (based on patient-reported symptoms)<\/h3>\n\n- HR and RHR were also higher during symptomatic flares.<\/li>\n
- There was no evidence that step count changed during symptomatic flares.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Predicting future flares<\/h3>\n\n- Changes in HR, RHR, HRV, and step count began up to 7 weeks before a flare.<\/li>\n
- Models including these measurements could predict whether a flare would happen in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why does this matter?<\/h2>\n
This study shows the value of monitoring people with IBD day-to-day \u2013 something that isn\u2019t possible with healthcare appointments that are often weeks or months apart. The smartwatches and smart rings used in this study picked up changes in HR and HRV during flares, and even before symptoms appeared. These findings open the door to future research on how treatment could be adapted to improve outcomes for people living with IBD.<\/p>\n
