Core Tip	Large language models offer a groundbreaking approach to patient education for inflammatory bowel disease by providing accurate, personalized, and nuanced information. This article emphasizes the need for domain-specific fine-tuning of large language models, robust evaluation metrics, and their integration into clinical workflows. Ethical concerns, such as algorithmic bias and patient data privacy, and accessibility barriers, including digital literacy gaps, are critical to address. Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for optimizing these tools to enhance patient engagement and improve health outcomes.
