Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Enable high qualitative estimation of bilirubin levels in the blood of newborns using Picterus JP [6 months]
Evaluate of smartphone-based diagnostic tool (Picterus JP) for neonatal jaundice in newborns.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Correlation with TsB [1-2 hours]
Demonstrate the correlation among the estimated levels of bilirubin obtained through a smartphone based diagnostic tool with bilirubin serum levels in a population of Mexican neonates.
- Correlation with TcB [5-10 minutes]
Demonstrate the correlation among the estimated levels of bilirubin obtained through a smartphone based diagnostic tool with those obtained using a transcutaneous bilirubinometer in a population of Mexican neonates.
- Correlation with visual assessment [5-10 minutes]
Demonstrate the correlation among the estimated levels of bilirubin obtained through a smartphone based diagnostic tool with those obtained using visual Kramer scale in a population of Mexican neonates.
