LAGOS, Nigeria, March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lagos, Nigeria-based African Sickle Cell
News and World Report (Sickle Cell News) is
collaborating with Salveo Therapeutics Pvt. Ltd. to promote a
unique application for SICKLE CELL DISEASE patients and their
families. Disease education is an unmet societal need, especially
in sickle cell-endemic countries. The aim is to bridge the
education gaps in the patient community and care providers.
'MY SICKLE CARE APP,' the android application, empowers patients
to take control of their health and well-being through a host of
novel and one-of-its-kind features. With the app as a companion,
the patients can keep track of the disease and its management daily
to help improve their overall quality of life. The app covers
minute details such as pain charting, daily water intake, blood
transfusions, mood, sleep patterns, and broader issues like mental
health, career choices, and nutrition. The dedicated community
section helps SCD patients from various parts of the world connect
and share views and experiences.
The app allows tracking medications, receiving notifications to
take medicines, and setting reminders for medical appointments. The
FAQs and resource sections of the app present answers and
educational videos that improve disease awareness while guiding
parents and caregivers. Patients can obtain their report at the
click of a button and share it with their doctor. Clinicians can
make informed, data-backed decisions to optimize treatment for each
patient.
Sharing his thoughts on this partnership, Dr. Suchitra Kataria, CEO of Salveo Therapeutics
Pvt. Ltd., said, 'We are thrilled by this opportunity to serve the
sickle cell patient community and come together for the greater
cause. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest SCD burden in the world,
and this partnership is a testament to our long-standing commitment
to providing a holistic approach to SCD management encompassing
symptom control and mental and social well-being. We hope that all
the digitally connected patients benefit from our initiative.'
