Smartphone-Based Screening for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in a U.S. Tertiary Center

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the Picterus Jaundice Pro smartphone application as a noninvasive screening tool for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia compared to total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels in a diverse U.S. newborn population. Their study found that the app demonstrated a strong correlation with TSB and effectively identified all infants requiring phototherapy, suggesting its potential utility as a low-cost alternative for screening in both clinical and low-resource settings.
