Screening jaundice in newborns with a smartphone app
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a smartphone app that checks for jaundice in newborns. The goal is to see if the app works well for on-the-spot screening, which could help parents and doctors detect jaundice early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your baby is a newborn, between 0 and 28 days old.
- Your baby is full-term (born at 37 weeks or later).
- Your baby does not need urgent medical care right now.

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 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 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 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.
This trial tests a special hat-like glasses to protect babies' eyes during phototherapy (light treatment for jaundice). It is for healthy full-term newborns who are in a regular hospital room.
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.
