Through my own engagement in various projects as social entrepreneur, I have come across several like-minded colleagues :)

The Norwegian neonatologist Anders Aune is the founder of Picterus, a start-up in Trondheim/Norway. Pictures has invented a smartphone app that measures the degree of neonatal jaundice. The app is developed to work well in low-resource contexts where undetected neonatal jaundice is estimated to cause more than 100.000 deaths per year, plus the many thousands of infants developing permanent brain injuries due to hyperbilirubinemic encephalopathy.

As jaundice can be easily managed with light treatment at low cost, there is a need for a low-cost diagnostic tool. Picterus is a solves the problem.

Anders Aune has asked me to share a short survey, collecting some data on potential use.
