PINPOINT: Gaming Technology for SCD Pain

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sickle Cell Disease, Sickle Cell Anemia in Children, Sickle Cell Thalassemia, Sickle Cell SC Disease

In brief

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common genetic disorder characterized by episodes of pain, yet programs to assist SCD adolescents with better identification and communication about pain are 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 self-care. Pinpoint is an interactive gaming app that will be tested in a Phase II project to determine whether the app assists SCD teens with improving their communication and identification skills for pain self-report.
