WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/206929
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A phototherapy monitoring device (10) includes a housing (12) configured for attachment to a patient, and a user interfacing device. An optical bilirubin sensor (14) includes one or more light sources (16) operative to generate probe light and arranged on or in the housing such that the probe light is reflected from or transmitted through skin of the patient when the housing is attached to the patient; and one or more photodetectors (18) arranged on or in the housing to detect the probe light reflected from or transmitted through the skin of the patient. At least one electronic processor (28) is disposed on or in the housing and programmed to: continuously generate a current bilirubin level measurement from the detected probe light reflected from or transmitted through the skin of the patient; and control the user interfacing device to generate a notification when the current bilirubin level measurement satisfies a safe bilirubin level.
