The purpose of the study is to develop, evaluate, and optimize an interactive website (the
SMART portal). The SMART portal will use IBD-specific and general assessments and
interventions to reduce the burden of common barriers to treatment adherence and enhance
self-management skills. This study aims to build and revise the SMART portal according to
feedback and testing from participants.

The study consists of three phases for development and evaluation of the SMART portal. Phase
1 is the development of online assessments and intervention components. There will be no
participant interaction with the portal during Phase 1. Phase 2 will consist of one,
individual interview with patients, caregivers, and clinicians/nurses to interact with a
portal prototype and provide feedback. Phase 3 will contain an open trial for patients and
caregivers with baseline, 2-6 months interacting with the portal and progressing through
applicable intervention components, and post-treatment. Patient test data will also be loaded
into the portal during Phase 3 for clinicians/nurses to interact with for 2-6 months.
Feedback from all users will be collected at post-treatment for optimization of the portal.
