What’s my immune system doing during an IBD flare?
IBD flares are hard to predict, and not well understood. Contribute to this study, and help IBD Warriors navigate future flares.

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.

Decentralizing immune studies with at-home blood collection and high-resolution data
We believe in radical transparency and collaboration. That means every step of the process, from study design to funding to final results and analysis are visible to you. This project is a joint effort between participants and researchers, so we are showing you all the costs involved in this research, including the portion our team is covering.
