DUBAI, UAE, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Takeda, the patient-centric biopharmaceutical company, brought its global 'In Their Shoes' program to the UAE. The initiative, focused on raising awareness of the difficult symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), entailed an immersive 24-hour simulation that generated a deeper understanding of how the disease affects the daily lives of patients.

Key Points: 
  • DUBAI, UAE, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Takeda, the patient-centric biopharmaceutical company, brought its global 'In Their Shoes' program to the UAE.
  • While inflammation is the body's natural reaction to irritation or injury, in patients with IBD, it is thought that the body's own immune system mistakenly identifies a harmless food or bacteria within the gut as 'foreign' and attacks it3.
  • Using a mobile app and an 'IBD kit,' participants engaged in common struggles, gaining insights into the disease's physical and emotional challenges.
  • Although the simulation couldn't fully replicate the experience, it is meant to foster empathy for individuals living with IBD.
