Abstract

Health sensing through smartphones has received considerable attention in recent years because of its promise to lower costs and provide more continuous data for tracking medical conditions. In this poster, we focus on using smartphones to sense newborn jaundice, which manifests as a yellow discoloration of the skin. Although jaundice is common in healthy newborns, early detection of extreme jaundice is essential to prevent brain damage or death. Current detection techniques, however, require clinical tests with blood samples or other specialized equipment. Consequently, newborns often depend on visual assessments of their skin color at home, which is known to be unreliable. We present BiliCam, a low-cost system that uses smartphone cameras to assess newborn jaundice.
BiliCam:用手机监测新生儿黄疸
近年来,通过智能手机进行的健康感知受到了相当大的关注,因为它有望降低成本,并为跟踪医疗状况提供更连续的数据。在这张海报中,我们专注于使用智能手机来感知新生儿黄疸,这表现为皮肤的黄色变色。虽然黄疸在健康新生儿中很常见,但早期发现极端黄疸对于防止脑损伤或死亡至关重要。然而,目前的检测技术需要用血液样本或其他专门设备进行临床测试。因此,新生儿往往依赖于家里对他们肤色的视觉评估,这是众所周知的不可靠的。我们介绍了BiliCam,一个使用智能手机摄像头来评估新生儿黄疸的低成本系统。
