SMART Mobile Application Technology Utilization in the Treatment of Sickle Cell Disease Post Day Hospital Discharge

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sickle Cell Disease

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test a web-aided, mobile-based PHR (Personal Health Reporting) service to enhance SCD outpatient treatment after discharge from an acute care setting, such as Duke University Medical Center's Day Hospital. SMART is a new mobile application created by SickleSoft to increase patient involvement in their treatment and improve patient to doctor communication. SMART is a self-monitoring and management service for SCD patients and their treatment doctors. This study will test whether or not use of the SMART mobile application will help develop the type of patient-doctor relationships that lead to better health outcomes and a decrease in readmission to an acute care facility.
