Usability testing of a Smartphone for accessing a web-based e-diary for self-monitoring of pain and symptoms in sickle cell disease
We examined the usability of smartphones for accessing a web-based e-Diary for self-
monitoring symptoms in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). One group
of participants (n= 10; mean age, 13.1±2.4 y; 5 M; 5 F) responded to questions using
precompleted paper-based measures. A second group (n= 21; mean age, 13.4±2.4 y; 10 M;
11 F) responded based on pain and symptoms they experienced over the previous 12
hours. The e-Diary was completed with at least 80% accuracy when compared to paper …
