Study Description
- Your participation varies from 6-12 months where you will use-
- an exposometer to collect your daily exposures
- a smartwatch to collect your biometric data
- keep a food log and collect biological samples
- The entire study can be done remotely.
- We will be looking to see if this information will help us learn more about individual exposures and how certain airborne particles may be related to the onset or flares of Crohn's disease.
Patient Participation Requirements
- You'll be asked to carry a phone-sized personal exposure monitor with you or place it within a few feet as you move around in your daily life.
- You'll wear a smartwatch on your wrist and keep a food log (at least one week per month)
- In addition, you'll provide some blood and stool samples, and complete questionnaires.
- If you live locally, you can come into a lab for blood work, or you can obtain your samples with at-home specimen collection kits (e.g., finger prick).
