Wearable devices like Fitbit may serve as valuable self-management tools encouraging greater levels of physical activity and improved sleep among individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Research presented at Digestive Disease Week 2025 by Michelle Guan, MD, an internal medicine resident at the University of California Los Angeles, highlight a significant association between increased daily step count and median hours of sleep as measured by a Fitbit device with reduced IBS symptom severity.

“Wearable devices like the Fitbit really offer a unique and objective way to track factors that are deeply connected to IBS symptom management, especially sleep,” Guan explained to HCPLive, describing how although patients frequently self-report sleep issues, wearables can provide a more accurate picture of sleep quality, including metrics like REM and deep sleep, to uncover some of the physiological patterns tied to symptom flares and offer actionable insights for self management.
