A feasibility study of telemedicine for paediatric sickle cell patients living in a rural medically underserved area.

This study provides critical information to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a telemedicine intervention to aid in SCD care. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the effectiveness of telemedicine to deliver comprehensive paediatric SCD care. Future research with a larger sample size is needed to confirm findings of our study, including expansion of telemedicine sites to include more urban areas.
