Mobile Text and Call as Effective Tools to Reduce Sickle Cell Crises Hospitalization: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic condition characterized by recurring painful crises and complications, leading to frequent hospitalizations and reduced quality of life. Effective management strategies are crucial to minimize hospital admissions and improve patient outcomes. This review explores the role of mobile text messaging and phone call interventions in enhancing patient care for SCD. These tools have shown promise in improving medication adherence, patient education, and self-management, reducing the frequency of crises and hospitalization rates. The integration of mobile health (mHealth) in SCD care provides a cost-effective and scalable approach to addressing the challenges faced by patients and healthcare providers.
