Abstract

Jaundice is a common newborn disease that causes yellowing of the skin and eyes due to high bilirubin levels. Although there are a number of underlying disorders that might cause it, it usually stems from the immature liver function of neonates. within the last five years, 60% of babies suffered from jaundice within their first week of life. Due to better screening and management procedures, the percentage of these individuals with severe jaundice that required treatment decreased by around 20% over the previous five years. It usually happens when the baby's liver develops and begins to metabolize bilirubin more effectively. The 'Golden Hue Detector,' a non-invasive device for detecting neonatal jaundice, is developed and validated in this research. Newborns frequently suffer from jaundice, a disease that needs to be diagnosed accurately and quickly to avoid problems like kernicterus. Blood tests are used in traditional techniques of identifying jaundice, but they can be stressful for infants and resource-intensive for medical facilities. These traditional methods frequently need many blood draws, which increases the danger of infection and puts the babies through a great deal of discomfort.
