NCT ID NCT07315126
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a standard device that measures jaundice through the skin works equally well in newborns with different skin colors. Jaundice is common in newborns, but high levels can be dangerous. The device may be less accurate in babies with darker skin because melanin can interfere. Researchers will compare the device's readings to blood tests in 510 babies to see if skin color affects accuracy.
