Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Irritable bowel syndrome takes a lot of explaining and time. The smart assistant maps the symptoms beforehand, explains the treatment options to the patient and checks in at set moments on how things are going.

The challenge

Many symptoms, little time.

There is no single treatment that works for everyone. Symptoms vary and often affect work, sleep and mood too. A short appointment leaves little time to explore all of this and explain the options properly.

The smart assistant in this care pathway

Three parts, one knowledge base.

  • Before the appointment

    Intake

    The patient shares their story at home: symptoms, history, medication and what they want to discuss. You receive an overview beforehand.

  • Before, during and after the appointment

    Explanation and decision aid

    Validated explanations of the condition and the treatment options, with a decision aid where there is a choice to make.

  • During follow-up

    Follow-up

    At set moments, the patient shares how things are going. Amdia lists this for the next appointment.

What the knowledge base covers

Validated and backed by literature.

You tailor the content to your own protocol: show or hide options, and choose the questionnaires that suit your department.

  • What IBS is and how it usually progresses
  • Symptoms, triggers and impact on daily life
  • Self-care and the FODMAP diet
  • Probiotics and medication
  • Psychological treatment and hypnotherapy
  • Watchful waiting: when that is a good choice

Questionnaires in the follow-up

IBS-SSS · GSRS · EQ-5D · PHQ-9 · GAD-7
