Cutaneous Hydration Assessment in SCD

Description

This study will validate the diagnostic accuracy of a cutaneous hydration sensor. This sensor will also be evaluated for its feasibility as a point-of-care device for the assessment of hydration status and its potential to guide hydration therapy in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD).
