    Current clinical practices often overlook fatigue in IBD, focusing instead on endoscopic outcomes and infrequent assessments.

  • 3

    Digital health technologies (DHTs) can enable continuous tracking of fatigue symptoms, potentially improving patient management.

  • 4

    Existing digital tools for IBD primarily address physical symptoms, neglecting fatigue, despite evidence suggesting it is manageable.

  • 5

    The scoping review aims to synthesize evidence on DHTs for IBD-related fatigue, addressing their feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness.
