Grant Recipient Uses Mobile Device Observation in Sickle Cell Pain Study
Technology takes center stage in a new epidemiologic study of acute vaso-occlusive pain associated with menstruation in women with sickle cell disease (SCD). Deva Sharma, MD – who completed her hematology-oncology fellowship at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and is currently a transfusion medicine fellow at Vanderbilt University Medical Center – is spearheading an initiative to understand the biology behind the severe, debilitating pain experienced by women with sickle cell disease during menstruation.
And she’s doing it in real-time with a little help from the iPod Touch!
Sharma is a 2017 recipient of the Foundation for Women & Girls with Blood Disorders Research Fellowship Award “Promoting XXcellence in Women’s Health: Optimal Management of Women and Girls with Blood Disorders.”
