Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent give general information on inflammatory bowel diseases, route urgent symptoms to medical care, support daily management and find patient organisations without giving individual medical advice.

A group of chronic conditions involving inflammation of the digestive tract, mainly Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, with symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, bleeding and weight loss, managed with medication, diet support and sometimes surgery; distinct from irritable bowel syndrome.

What it is for: A group of chronic health conditions needing ongoing care.

It can be explain types and symptoms in general terms; recognise urgent warning signs; support daily management and flare planning; find specialists and patient organisations.
