Saving Kids
Making bilirubin measurement accessible even where healthcare resources are limited. Technology, training and collaboration in support of neonatal health.
Images from the fieldAccess to diagnosis makes a difference.
Neonatal jaundice needs attention in every care setting. Access to measurement and monitoring, however, varies.
Equipment availability, distance from healthcare facilities and access to services can make it harder to monitor newborns in their first weeks of life.
Bilimetrix works to bring diagnostics closer to the point of care, combining portable technology with healthcare professional training and collaboration with local healthcare organisations.

Accessible diagnostic tools and services support bilirubin measurement and monitoring in the first days of life.
An organised care pathway supports access to treatment and monitoring by healthcare professionals.
Timely assessment and continuity of care help prevent complications.
Low- and middle-income countries
Distance from healthcare facilities and limited equipment availability can delay measurement and recognition of newborns at risk.
Infrastructure, equipment and staffing constraints can limit opportunities for timely intervention.
When severe hyperbilirubinaemia is not recognised and treated in time, it can cause neurological complications such as kernicterus.
