Virtual doctor visits aim to bridge care gap for kids with sickle cell

NCT ID NCT05087303

Summary

This study is testing whether two different types of telemedicine (remote doctor visits) can help children with sickle cell disease get better care when they live far from specialty clinics. Researchers are working with 24 families to see if virtual visits improve appointment attendance, lab work, and communication between doctors, and if they lead to fewer pain crises and hospital trips. The goal is to make comprehensive sickle cell care more accessible to families in underserved areas.
