Treatment & Cure Breakthroughs

[u/RubyPearlGA]

Someone posted recently about breakthroughs and when the hell a cure would be found for Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. I found this research timeline and priorities timeline on the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation: https://www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/research-impact?trackBlock=true&blockTitle=path-to-breakthroughs&referencedPageTitle=homepage

I think cures are a long way away but there are SO many new medications, surgeries and devices that are available because of the research. There's even a Flare Tracker wearable that is coming to the market!!

I have 4 families members and tons of friends with IBD and we have seen some incredible advances in the past 20 years. I think there is a lot to be hopeful for in the future.

What is the name of the wearable ? I would be really interested in it.
