Projectdetails

Introduction

Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) affects 60%-80% of newborns worldwide (84-112 million/year). Ten percent will develop severe jaundice (SNJ), which can cause permanent brain damage or even death. Each year, approximately 114,000 newborns die due to this condition, and 75,000 suffer severe long-term neurological impairments.

Current Challenges

A fast, point-of-care, affordable method for NNJ screening and monitoring in the first 2 weeks of life is crucial. However, current methods are insufficient, including:

  • Visual assessment
  • Transcutaneous device
  • Blood test

Resource Pressures

Health systems face increasing pressure on their resources. It is imperative to develop more sustainable models of care and empower patients and their families.

Project Overview

Picterus is developing the first digital platform to enable NNJ screening by parents and caregivers at home. This platform will facilitate timely referrals to healthcare services.

Features of the Platform

Our recommendation tool will allow families to:

  1. Monitor NNJ at home with their smartphones.
  2. Enable healthcare workers to efficiently manage a greater number of families by avoiding unnecessary visits.
