ABSTRACT

Background: Using personal health record [PHR] for the management of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] as a chronic disease can be beneficial for the patients and provide their needs and make them more informed. PHRs offer an integrated and comprehensive view of health information, including information people generate themselves and information from doctors , and information from their pharmacies and insurance companies. Using personal health record is one of the crucial aspects of improving personal health. In this survey, we designed and implemented a web-based PHR for patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] in order to help improve the health status of the patients with IBD.
