Gaming Technology to Engage Adolescent Sickle Cell Patients in Pain Management

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sickle Cell Disease

In brief

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common genetic disorder characterized by episodes of pain, yet assessments to identify type, intensity, frequency, and phase of pain among SCD adolescents is lacking. Research shows that interactive gaming technology can enhance adolescents' learning, and can be especially effective in delivering health-related messages and tools to improve their self-care. Pinpoint is an interactive gaming tablet app that will be developed with the significant input of clinical experts to assist SCD teens with better identification and self-report of their pain.
