There are apps ,which can detect jaundice. do you know that ?


May be this is not much popular,but there are mobile apps that detect jaundice in babies  with the technology of image capturing and processing the image.

The BiliCam App Can Detect Jaundice in Babies



                         




                                 




BiliCam is an app that helps parents easily detect jaundice in their babies using their smartphone. Jaundice is quite common in babies but can be fatal. The disease is caused by the buildup of a substance called bilirubin in blood and body tissues. Excell bilirubin can cause the skin to be tinged yellow.



                                  



The application  helps detect jaundice in babies during the first few days after they go home. Parents simply have to take a picture of their baby with an included color key laid on the baby's belly. The information is then sent to a cloud where an algorithm determines if the parents should get their child tested for jaundice. 

                                  

The application  is still in the testing level, but its developers hope to get into doctors' hands for further testing before seeking FDA approval.
