Infant Health Child Condition Based Phototherapy for Neonatal Jaundice Patient

The wellbeing of new born is extremely important for parents. Many new born babies suffer from neonatal jaundice which may lead to death. A high level of bilirubin is one of the symptoms of neonatal jaundice in babies The present work is carried out to support and save lives of infants from neonatal jaundice. Around 25% and 60% of full-term babies and 80% of preterm babies experience jaundice in their first two weeks of life, respectively, and phototherapy is one of the most effective ways in modern medicine to manage this illness. The phototherapeutic approach converts bilirubin into water-soluble photo-products that can be excreted without passing through the hepatic conjugating system. Phototherapy uses ultraviolet light (UV) to lower blood bilirubin levels in infants. A system is developed here that can automatically control the intensity of UV light based on the severity of neonatal jaundice. The Arduino Uno and ESP32 are integrated into the neonatal jaundice phototherapy system. The healthcare providers enter bilirubin levels to start the Arduino Uno UV light control system. The ESP32 gathers essential information such as weight, temperature, and heart rate, generating an extensive dataset. Based on the infant's state, ESP32 uses this data to precisely customize the UV light treatment. Immediate insights are obtained through real-time feedback through a 16x2 LCD, and the complete dataset is safely transferred to the BLYNK IoT platform. The practitioner and parents can monitor the child development by using smartphone App.
