ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new tool called Picterus JP that helps to check for neonatal jaundice in newborns using smartphone cameras. Neonatal jaundice is a common condition that causes yellowing of the skin and eyes in babies, and it needs to be monitored closely. The goal of the study is to confirm that this tool works well on different smartphones, making it easier for parents and healthcare providers to use.

To participate in this trial, infants must be between 1 and 14 days old, born after 37 weeks of pregnancy, and weigh at least 2500 grams at birth. However, babies who have any serious health issues, skin problems, or have recently received special light treatment for jaundice are not eligible to join. If your baby qualifies and participates, you can expect a simple and quick screening process to help ensure their health and well-being. This study is currently looking for participants, and it aims to improve the way we monitor jaundice in newborns.
