Background:
The prevalence and chronic nature of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is a significant global concern. As the essential part of treatments approach, patient adherence to treatment protocols and self-management practices are crucial to = IBD management. Healthcare initiatives focused on chronic conditions are strongly needed to consider various aspects of gamification and how it can positively affect self-management.
Aim:
The current cognitive study aims to develop a mobile application to integrate the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) instructional design model and elaborate on a gamification design based on the reputable Sukr Wheel framework.
Methods:
The current study uses the ADDIE approach to integrate behavior change strategies derived from the self-management theory using the Sukr Wheel gamification (My IBD Buddy) framework on the Android platform.
Results:
The final evaluation was conducted over 14 days. User satisfaction comprised 22 participants aged 20 to 64, all diagnosed with inflammatory bowel diseases. System usability was measured on a scale ranging from 50 to 100. The average usability score for the entire user group was 80.68, indicating a "good" level of satisfaction among the program users based on the ranking scale.
Conclusion:
"My IBD Buddy" mobile application, equipped with gamification for IBD patients, enhances self-efficacy and self-management.

Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
