A novel medical device that combines filtered sunlight phototherapy and kangaroo care to treat neonatal jaundice: bench feasibility study

Introduces a novel non-electric medical device that combines filtered sunlight phototherapy and kangaroo care to treat infant jaundice. Demonstrates the ability of the device to provide adequate therapeutic blue irradiance to treat jaundice while blocking harmful UV sunlight for caregivers at multiple angles, enabling potential at-home and mobile care.
