Testing a skin device for newborn jaundice
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a device that measures jaundice (yellowing of the skin) through the skin rather than with a blood test. It may help newborns avoid a needle stick.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby must be between 35 and 42 weeks at birth
- Birth weight must be more than 2 kilograms (about 4.4 pounds)
- Baby must be between 0 and 28 days old
- Baby must not be severely ill or have a life-threatening birth defect
- Baby must not have a skin disease or have received light therapy (phototherapy) or a blood exchange transfusion

This trial checks whether a new device can accurately detect and track yellowing of the skin (newborn jaundice) in hospitals with limited resources. It may help clinicians monitor jaundice and decide on treatments like blue light therapy more reliably.
This trial tests if a skin light meter can accurately measure jaundice (bilirubin) in newborns with different skin tones. It may help reduce the need for blood tests.
This trial tests whether a smartphone tool can help screen newborn jaundice (yellow skin) using skin measurements. It may help doctors identify jaundice sooner and decide if a blood test is needed.
This study tests a simple color scale families can use at home to check their baby's skin for jaundice (yellowing of the skin) in the first weeks after birth. It may help decide when to go to the hospital for treatment and also looks at how well breastfeeding is going.
This study checks whether a device that reads bilirubin through the skin can be used to guide treatment with newborn phototherapy (special light). It may help babies with jaundice get the right monitoring and light treatment safely.
This study tests a new phototherapy (special light treatment) device to treat newborn jaundice. It may help by seeing whether this device can treat jaundice safely and effectively.
