Summary
This study looks at whether a special electronic pill bottle (AdhereTech) can accurately track how often teens with sickle cell disease take their medication, hydroxyurea. About 36 teens aged 12-17 will use the bottle for two months. The goal is to see if this device gives a better picture of medication adherence than standard methods like self-reports or pill counts, which could help doctors adjust treatments more effectively.
