Rhythm SCD

This app helps individuals living with sickle cell disease and their care community track pain, mood, fatigue, and other symptoms using their mobile device and a connected Apple Watch.

Our Goal
We developed this app to provide a valuable tool for assessing and monitoring health in people living with sickle cell disease. By leveraging technologies like Apple HealthKit, the app enables users to self-monitor and contribute meaningful health data in a secure way that fits their lifestyle.

Key Features
• Assessments, surveys, and active tasks tailored to capture health information specific to sickle cell disease, including pain, fatigue, physical activity, and overall well-being
• Tools designed to promote monitoring of symptoms and health over time
• HealthKit integration that enables access to data from Apple devices and other HealthKit-compatible applications, including step count, heart rate, sleep patterns, and other vital metrics
• Comprehensive health data collection that is simple and compliant with privacy and security standards

How This Helps
Using these technologies, the app supports individuals with sickle cell disease in better self-management of their condition. In the future, researchers and healthcare providers may gain insights through aggregated, coded, or de-identified data, fostering advancements in sickle cell disease care and understanding.
