The purpose of this study is to determine if the IBD patient doing home monitoring by web app\'s for disease activity (DA) and fecal calprotectin (FC) on demand (OD), compared with patients doing home monitoring scheduled interval combined with \"on demand\"(SI+OD) ( every 3.month). Will home monitoring of DA and FC OD vs SI+OD reduce frequency of relapse in one year follow up? Is the frequent FC measurement in SI+OD test group predictive of an early recognition of relapse, and thus help change the naturel course of disease? Will home monitoring of DA and FC in OD vs SI+OD change the course of the disease in terms of disease activity, spread of the disease, hospitalizations and number of hospitalization days, required surgery and outpatient visits? Is there a difference in patients\' compliance with treatment plan between OD vs SI+OD ? Is there difference in patients-adherence between OD vs SI+OD ?
