Jaundice skin test accuracy in newborns
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born at 36 weeks of pregnancy or later.
- Your baby must be staying in the postnatal ward or kangaroo care unit.
- Your baby needs a blood test to check bilirubin (jaundice) at the Cochin lab.
- Your baby must not have had phototherapy (light treatment) in the last 24 hours.
- Both parents must agree to the study.

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 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 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 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.
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.
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.
