    No Needles, Just Insights. IBD Aware is the first non-invasive wearable technology for monitoring IBD disease activity. It enables continuous monitoring of the biomarkers associated with inflammation in your passively expressed sweat.
  • How does IBD Aware work?
    Harness the power of your own sweat! IBD AWARE uses a Sweatsenser strip to detect multiple analytes from your sweat in real-time. The wearable Reader then wirelessly transmits this data to your smartphone app, turning complex biochemistry into easy-to-understand health insights.
  • What is the technology behind IBD Aware?
    We're leveraging cutting-edge biochemistry and wireless technology. Our Sweatsenser strip detects multiple analytes, while the Reader device wirelessly transmits this data to your app. It's a seamless blend of science and convenience. Be sure to check out our published research.

  • Does using IBD AWARE require a prescription?
    No prescription needed, but let's be clear: IBD Aware is still in the study phase and hasn't received official FDA certification yet. Our products are designed to help you maintain and encourage a wellness state. They're not intended for diagnosing or treating any disease without a physician's guidance. With that said, we can provide valuable data to you and your healthcare provider for a more informed approach to your wellness journey.
  • What data does IBD AWARE collect?
    IBD Aware is your personal health data hub. It captures real-time sweat analytics, including multiple analytes, to provide a comprehensive picture of your IBD status for you and your healthcare provider. The current IBD Aware version includes Calprotectin, TNF-a, IL-6, and C-Reactive Protein.
  • Does the amount of sweat I produce affect the accuracy of the device?
    No need to sweat about it—literally! Our sensor is engineered to handle all scenarios, whether you're in hot or cold climates, exercising, or just chilling. It's your reliable companion for accurate IBD monitoring, come rain or shine
  • Is there an age limit for using IBD Aware?
    Currently, IBD AWARE is designed for adults aged 18 to 65. If you fall outside this age range, don't fret! We have ongoing studies for other age groups. Feel free to reach out to us to learn more about these exciting opportunities.
