Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
This project aims to test a novel smartphone application, Picterus, which provides a cheaper, patient-friendly, and more readily means of neonatal jaundice detection. For this purpose, the study aims to collect data from newborns with a broad range of bilirubin levels and high melanin content in a population in Botswana.
