Smart bottle spies on teen Pill-Taking to fight sickle cell

NCT ID NCT03708731

Summary

This study is testing a 'smart' pill bottle to see if it's a good way to measure how consistently teens with sickle cell disease take their daily medication (hydroxyurea). The bottle tracks when it's opened and sends the data to researchers. The goal is to find a more accurate method than asking patients or counting pills, which could help doctors better manage treatment for this serious condition.
