I'm thinking of getting an Apple Watch and I'm curious on how it works with Crohn's Disease/IBD but I haven't seen any info on it.

I'd appreciate any info if anyone has some
 
My child has Chrons and I do not see how the watch could benefit someone with the disease. AFAIK managing the disease consists of labwork to determine and manage inflammation.

Its' a dream but i do not see that sort of skin measurement (crp, sed, cal) coming from a skin device in my lifetime.

Me either unfortunately. I'm going on 30+ years with Crohn's and I'm hopefull the Apple Watch will benefit Crohn's patients some day.

On a side, note all the best to your child. It gets better. I have flare-ups every so often and hospitalizations rarely. Humira has been a godsend. Feel free to ask me anything about my experiences with Crohns any time
