Summary

This study is testing a special skin sensor that measures water levels in the skin of people with sickle cell disease. Dehydration can trigger painful crises, so finding a quick, easy way to check hydration could help guide treatment. About 30 participants will be enrolled to see if the sensor works as well as standard tests.
