Validation of an Innovative Neonatal Jaundice Detection System (Picterus) in Indonesia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The long-term goal of this project is to establish Picterus as a permanent tool to detect NNJ in the healthcare services of Indonesia. Offering early detection and therefore, timely treatment to NNJ, will substantially improve neonatal health and directly work towards the Sustainable Development Goal 3.2.2, reduce neonatal mortality. The study as the following specific subgoals:
-
Demonstrate that Picterus system performs accurately in Indonesian newborns
-
Ensure that Picterus is in line with users' needs in Indonesia

Experimental: Enable high qualitative estimation of bilirubin levels in the blood of new-borns In this study we aim to collect data of newborns with wider range of bilirubin levels and additionally measurements of skin color reflectance with a spectrophotometer, to adjust the Picterus JP algorithm and optimize the app performance. This will enable a high qualitative estimation of bilirubin levels in the blood of new-borns of South-East Asian ethnicity and skin type. |
Device: Picterus Jaundice Pro
Use Picterus Jaundice Pro, a smartphone app that is used to take photo of the newborns skin, where the Picterus calibration card is place.
