DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-COST PHOTOTHERAPY NEONATAL BILIBLANKET FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Keywords:
low-cost biliblanket, hyperbilirubinemia, developing countries, neonatal phototherapyAbstract
A study by WHO in 2020 shows an upsurge of neonate death in Africa due to lack of medical technology required to adequately treat hyperbilirubinemia. This study researches the use of Light Emitting Diodes in neonate phototherapy administration. The design used a categorized pulse sensor and a temperature sensor to monitor the neonate-health, a microcontroller regulated the wavelength of LEDs in the range of 450-500nm, 33µW/cm2/nm ± 15% irradiance with an illumination area of 700
