PHARMASICKLE’S FLAGSHIP INNOVATION
Transforming Sickle Cell Care Through Innovation
NOW IN BETA TESTING
PharmaSickle™ Visit Prep is a patient- and caregiver-centered tool designed to help people living with sickle cell disease organize important information, prepare for healthcare visits, and communicate their needs with greater clarity and confidence.
Organize
Bring important information together before the visit.
Healthcare Visits Can Be Difficult to Navigate
For people living with sickle cell disease, a healthcare encounter may involve pain, stress, unfamiliar practitioners, repeated questions, and important details that are difficult to recall in the moment. Parents and caregivers may also carry years of treatment knowledge that needs to be communicated quickly and clearly.
PharmaSickle™ Visit Prep helps users think through important information before the encounter so they can arrive more organized, better prepared, and ready to participate in the conversation about their care.
Prepare
Think through symptoms, concerns, questions, and care priorities.
Communicate
Use a structured visit summary to support a clearer conversation.

Visit Prep guides patients and caregivers through a simple, step-by-step experience based on the type of healthcare encounter they are preparing for.

For the Healthcare Practitioner
Supports greater preparation, organization, and confidence when explaining concerns, asking questions, and participating in healthcare conversations.
Provides structure for sharing observations, care history, previous experiences, and the information they believe is important to the patient’s care.
Offers a more organized starting point for understanding the patient’s concerns, priorities, and reported experiences while supporting a focused conversation during the encounter.
Better Preparation → Clearer Communication → A More Informed Encounter
Healthcare Practitioners Are Essential Partners
PharmaSickle™ Visit Prep works best when patients and caregivers feel comfortable using the information they prepared to participate in the healthcare conversation.
Healthcare practitioners can support the experience by recognizing the Visit Prep summary as a patient-prepared communication resource, reviewing relevant information with the patient, asking clarifying questions, and encouraging meaningful participation in care discussions.
The tool is not intended to replace clinical evaluation, medical records, professional judgment, or direct communication. It is designed to help patients and caregivers arrive better prepared for that communication.
