摘要：
The invention relates to diagnosis in general and more specifically a system and a method for determining the presence of jaundice in newborn babies, also known as neonatal jaundice.A main objective of the present invention is to provide a simple system and method for determining the presence of jaundice. Particularly since most deaths due to jaundice occur in low-income countries, there is a large unmet need of simple, reliable and affordable technologies able to identify at-risk newborn.The objective is accomplished through receiving a depiction of skin from an RGB sensor, and then using either an optical diffusion model of the skin or Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the bilirubin concentration. A meta model of the optical diffusion model or Monte Carlo simulations can also be used. Colour calibration is also performed by e.g. thin-plate spline interpolation.
