Simple card may help parents detect jaundice in newborns
NCT ID NCT07386093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving families a skin color monitoring card (S-CARD) helps them notice jaundice in their newborn and seek hospital care sooner. 128 healthy babies born at 36-42 weeks will be enrolled. One group gets the card and training; the other gets only routine advice. Researchers will track hospital visits for jaundice and breastfeeding success.

What this could lead to
If it works, this simple card could help families catch dangerous jaundice early at home, reducing complications and hospital delays.
