ABSTRACT
Sickle cell disease is a genetic mutation that causes sickling of the red blood cells, affecting between 90,000 and 100,000 Americans. Researchers must develop methods of data acquisition capable of maximizing both the amount of data being collected and types of data being collected to form the most accurate diagnosis and treatment for patients. Popular data acquisition forms are the use of mobile phones, sensory systems, and wearable technology. In this paper, we attempt to bridge the gap between the three, combining a wearable sensory system with the computation and communication power of mobile phones. We propose the application of sickle cell disease as a structure around which to design a textile-based data acquisition system.
