A cross-sectional study at the Södersjukehuset facility (Stockholm, Sweden) collect data of newborns from a population with Neomar scale type 4 to adjust the algorithm of Picterus JP
To adjust Picterus JP to work in newborns with more pigmented skin, the investigators will collect a data set at Sachsska barnsjukhuset Södersjukhuset, Stockholm Sweden from 150 newborns with dark skins using Picterus JP, TcB, skin measurements from a spectrometer, visual assessment, and total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels. As a control, newborns with Neomar scale 1-3 will be included.

Use Picterus Jaundice Pro, a smartphone app that is used to take photo of the newborns skin, where the Picterus calibration card is place.
Södersjukhuset
Stockholm, Sweden
Enable high qualitative estimation of bilirubin levels in newborns, independent of skin color, using Picterus JP
Evaluate of smartphone-based screening tool (Picterus JP) for neonatal jaundice in newborns with Neomar neonatal skin color scale type 4 (with type 1 being lower-melanin level and Type 4 being higher-melanin level)
