Timely detection of neonatal jaundice is essential - everywhere.
Jaundice is one of the most common conditions in newborns, affecting 60–80% worldwide. In most cases, it resolves on its own. However, around 10% will need treatment. Early detection of babies at risk is key to avoid severe complications.
Across the world, healthcare providers face different challenges: early discharge policies, limited access to screening tools, or a lack of reliable lab infrastructure.
Wherever care is delivered, Picterus Jaundice Pro offers a flexible, accessible solution for bilirubin screening — whether in hospitals, clinics, or during home visits by healthcare workers, or by parents.
Picterus supports clinical decision-making
Picterus Jaundice Pro is a clinically validated smartphone-based screening tool that enables healthcare providers to screen for neonatal jaundice quickly, accurately, and non-invasively — wherever care is delivered. Developed in collaboration with clinical partners around the world, Picterus is designed to perform reliably across all types of healthcare settings and care environments — making it suitable for every newborn, anywhere. Importantly, Picterus also enables parents to screen for jaundice at home, under the guidance and supervision of healthcare professionals — supporting safer follow-up and continuity of care after discharge.
