Abstract

The use of mobile technology in health care has been a growing trend. Patients with chronic diseases such as sickle cell disease (SCD) require close monitoring to provide appropriate treatment recommendations and avoid complica- tions. We conducted a feasibility study for patients with SCD hospitalized for pain using our self-developed mobile applica- tion (TRU-pain: Technology Resources to better Understand Pain) and a wearable activity tracker. Subjective symptoms such as pain and objective data such as heart rate (HR) were measured.
