## What is My IBD Care?

The doctor-developed smart companion that makes living with Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis easier.

Living with Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis can feel unpredictable, overwhelming, and exhausting. My IBD Care is a doctor-developed app designed to help you understand what’s going on, manage day-to-day challenges, and feel more confident living life on your terms.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, navigating a flare, or staying well in remission, My IBD Care gives you practical tools, trusted guidance, and reassurance – all in one place.

A SMARTER WAY TO LIVE WITH IBD

My IBD Care helps you:
• Track symptoms, medication, and lifestyle with minimal effort
• Connect the dots between sleep, stress, activity, and symptoms
• Learn practical ways to manage everyday life with Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis
• Feel more prepared, supported, and in control

A crucial part of My IBD Care is ElenaAI – your personal guide through life with Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis. She helps interpret your data, make sense of what’s happening, and gently guide you towards what to do next – so you don’t have to navigate things alone.*

WHAT’S IN THE APP?

• Personalised support, powered by ElenaAI: non-medical guidance day or night. Understand patterns in your data, prepare for appointments, and feel reassured when things feel uncertain.

• Symptom and wellbeing tracking: track flares, bowel movements, pain, mood, sleep, stress, and more – all in one place.

• Medication and appointment support:
Stay on top of medications, reminders, appointments, and tests.

• Expert-led courses: practical, condition-specific courses covering sleep, medication, mental wellbeing, physical activity, and living with symptoms – created by clinicians and people who understand life with IBD.

• Library and trusted resources: clinically reviewed content from the NHS, Crohn’s & Colitis UK, and other trusted sources.

DESIGNED TO WORK ALONGSIDE YOUR CLINICAL CARE

My IBD Care is built with NHS clinicians and patients, and designed to support you between appointments – helping you feel more prepared when they come around.

EVIDENCE-LED AND CLINICALLY GROUNDED

My IBD Care was developed with patients and doctors at King’s College Hospital and Barts Health. 

WHAT USERS SAY

“This app has definitely changed how I think about managing my IBD. It’s a tool that helps to really monitor and analysis trends in how I am feeling to ensure I get the support and care I need before anything major happens.”

“A really good way to keep track of things without any hassle, and an easy way to look back for any recurring patterns or trends in my health. Would highly recommend it for anyone who wants an easy to use app to keep track of their IBD.”

“Knowledge is power. This app gives you precisely that: power over your condition. With evidence based consultants and specialists opinions, not the regular Google search. It's an holistic approach to IBD which is fundamental for getting and maintaining it under control. I would definitely recommend it!”

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-05-28, version 6.0.1*

App doesn’t work. Have managed to register ok then added my username and password, clicked log-in, says ‘success!’ But doesn’t do anything

### 1/5 — Takes Forever to Update

*2025-08-21*

Even before the update it took forever for any of my bowel movements to be tracked and logged correctly. Now with the new flare tracker that fails to work, I can’t even attempt to log a bowel movement. It was difficult enough to wait forever (and I mean hours) for the app to load, now it’s completely useless to me.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear you experienced some technical difficulties with the app. We'd like to resolve this for you. Please send us an email at info@ampersandhealth.co.uk with your registered app email address and we can take it from there.

### 5/5 — An Insight to My Care

*2025-04-03, version 5.0.2*

Just some improvements around bugs and glitches. Being able to delete previous medications and edit when you started them (same with the appointment book).

I’ve made a couple mistakes and I would like to have the most accurate results on my app to help my team if the time was needed for them to access this information to help me but also to help me keep track of my very difficult condition.

Overall I truly appreciate the NHS taking their time to build an app for this community to help support them and keep track of their day to day developments. It means the world that we are being recognised!

### 1/5 — Insights not working

*2025-02-01, version 5.0.1*

You can no longer access the insights/stats page. It is just constantly loading. This makes it a little bit pointless as you can’t see what you’ve logged. Please fix asap.

### 1/5 — UK only

*2023-11-16, version 4.7.1*

This is only for the UK so useless if you live anywhere else

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-10-08, version 4.7.0*

Keeps crashing everytime I open

### 3/5 — Not connected to my hospital team

*2023-10-03, version 4.7.0*

Although the app is free to users it is not free to Hospitals and my Team at Royal United Hospital Bath are not connected because it is too expensive apparently . I’m not sure what’s  the point of continuing?

### 4/5 — Personally have found it useful!

*2023-10-01, version 4.7.0*

I found this app early on in my IBD journey shortly after a hospital admission for a flare-up and found it great to build my confidence and for understanding what my baseline symptoms were. Without this app I would have never joined the ampersand health community thus would have missed out on many wonderful zoom catch ups with others in similar situations as well as the staff and other resources they bring in to help support IBD, arthritis and dermatitis patients! Now that things are more settled for me I’m not using the app as much but I certainly do still enjoy connecting with the community even while being on the other side of the world to most of them. Highly recommend checking out this resource!!!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2023-06-20, version 4.5.4*

I used to use this daily to Track my bowel movements then it just stopped working. I’ve used this app for about 2 years and just had problems after problems. Just shows how little help there is for IBD

### 1/5 — Need to be updated

*2023-06-15, version 4.5.3*

Every time I go into app on iPhone I have to delete and reinstall to be able to log in as 
page either won’t allow fields to be filled. Only works on fingerprint access and not face recognition. Personally not sure why you’d spend time inputting so much day but that’s maybe just me.
