To use the app, called BiliCam, the parent or health care provider places the calibration card - which is about the size of a business card - on the naked torso of the baby and takes a flash-assisted photo of the baby and card using the smartphone
The app sends key data from the photo - which with the help of the calibration card accounts for differences in lighting conditions and skin tones - to the cloud using a data connection provided through the smartphone.
Algorithms in the cloud analyze the data and within minutes the smartphone receives a report on the likely levels of bilirubin in the baby.
I HOPE IT WILL WORK IN BLACKS
Wonderful piece of information. If it can be created to serve whites then another can be created to serve blacks. Totally handy
