Two Israeli researchers develop technologies that may help detect Crohn’s and IBD flare-ups early, using a smart stress-monitoring patch and a synthetic biology-based urine test, potentially transforming care for millions of patients worldwide *** New technologies developed in Israel may offer a way to detect impending flare‑ups of inflammatory bowel disease before symptoms appear, marking a potential shift in care for millions of patients worldwide. Inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, affects more than 10 million people globally. The chronic conditions are characterized by sudden and unpredictable flare‑ups that can cause severe pain, hospitalization and long‑term intestinal damage. Although treatments have improved significantly, doctors still lack a simple, noninvasive method to continuously monitor disease activity and warn of an imminent flare. Two pioneering technologies, used together, could help fill that gap by giving patients ...
