How Can You Measure Your New Born Baby’s Jaundice At Home?
The Problem: You can’t measure
High Occurrence Disease:
? 1 in 2 newborn has jaundice but usually recovers, testing is crucial here
? Still due to misdiagnosis 481,000 babies reach severe jaundice out of which 114,000 (20%) die every year
? 63,000 (13%) recover with brain damage, paralysis, deafness or long term disa-bilities
Lack of non-invasive, low-cost & skin tone agnostic jaundice screening for neonates
? Invasive tests: Non availability of low cost non-invasive alternative
? Manual Errors : Errors in manual diagnosis in screening
? Accessibility & Reach: No accessibility to tribals & rural population
? Expensive tests: Bilirubinometer costs up to 4 lakh Rs plus recurrent costs
? Skin Pigmentation: Non availability of screening solution for Indian skin tone
? No at-home test: Non availability of remote diagnosis at home for parents
