Using Patient-Centered Guidelines in a Technology Platform to Improve Health Care in Adults With Sickle Cell Disease

The user-driven technological tool will include an mHealth mobile phone application. Features of the application will be based on preliminary work from the investigators' sites. The mobile app will include fully searchable provider-facing and patient-facing interfaces with the SCD-specific guidelines. The provider-facing interface, designed to be used by providers, will be separated by patient's age to accommodate pediatric and adult providers. The patient-facing interface will display the guidelines that are age- and health literacy-appropriate. Through the mobile app, the investigators will reinforce important points of guideline content; motivate patient engagement through quizzes and text-message reminders; and facilitate peer support, for instance by forming teams to compete against each other to attain goals.
