Purpose of the development: The Ukrainian university has developed and proposes the introduction of an LED blanket for the treatment of jaundice, which has no negative impact on children and is much more comfortable and more effective in helping the newborn.

Recommended application field: Maternity hospitals, regional and city hospitals (where newborns are treated).

Advantages over analogues: LED dashboard - has a flexible foundation, features a built-in security system, and the ability to control the device with a mobile application. Compliance with the spectrum of light and radiation power is met.

The development stage readiness: Pre-production model is made

Description of the development:
()
Two out of three children have jaundice after birth. In the case of newborns, this means that the liver does not have time to remove bilirubin from the body. Bilirubin is toxic, it can cause hearing loss and irreversible damage to the brain. And pathological jaundice, if not treated, leads to death. Phototherapy is the most common way of treating jaundice. However, in the maternity hospitals of Ukraine, the situation with phototherapy devices is extremely unsatisfactory. Existing devices have serious disadvantages, which adversely affect the mental and physical state of newborns. The Ukrainian university has developed a compact and comfortable baby device that can be easily transported. He does not shine into the child's eyes. The LEDs used in the device are fully compliant with the requirement of the light spectrum of the radiation power. The device also has a built-in system for protecting and maintaining the optimum temperature for the baby during exposure and the ability to control through the mobile application.
