Use of a Mobile-based Pain Assessment Application for SCD Patients

The study will seek to enroll 100 sickle cell or thalassemia patients who are age 12 or older
who have access to a smartphone or tablet with Internet access daily.

The study will evaluate patient-reported comfort level with using a mobile device to record
their pain levels, as well as adherence to recording these levels daily.

The study will track patients' assessment of their pain, actions taken, and outcomes related
to pain management and provider involvement.

This study will attempt to collect information about differences in the use of two
traditional pain assessment modes (verbal scale and paper) versus the use of a pain
assessment tool on a mobile device in the form of a smartphone, tablet, or iPad with an
Android or iOS operating system.
