First seen Mar 19, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study looks at whether two types of telemedicine (remote doctor visits) can help children with sickle cell disease get better care, especially in areas with limited medical services. About 24 families will try one of two telemedicine models, and researchers will track things like appointment attendance, lab work, and how often kids have pain crises or hospital visits. The goal is to see if telemedicine can make care more accessible and improve health outcomes for these children.
