西雅图华盛顿大学的医学工程研究人员开发了一个智能手机应用程序(BiliCam),通过智能手机的摄像头可诊断新生儿黄疸。将比色卡放在婴儿腹部,使用手机摄像头拍一张带有卡片的照片。通过比色卡能对不同的光线条件和肤色进行校准。照片传送到云,通过机器学习算法计算后,新生儿的胆红素水平报告很快就显示在手机上。新生儿由于肝功能还未发育完全,不能很好的分解胆红素。如果胆红素代谢出现异常就会引起新生儿皮肤黄染。通常医生观察皮肤黄染的程度来判断黄疸的严重程度。新生儿黄疸不及时治疗会引起大脑损伤甚至危及 Medical engineering researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle have developed a smartphone application (BiliCam) that diagnoses neonatal jaundice from a smartphone camera. Place the color card on the baby’s abdomen and use the phone’s camera to take a photo with the card. Different color conditions and skin tones can be calibrated using a colorimeter. Photos are sent to the cloud and, as calculated by the machine learning algorithm, the neonatal bilirubin level report is quickly displayed on the phone. Neonatal liver function has not yet fully developed, can not be a good decomposition of bilirubin. If bilirubin metabolism abnormalities can cause neonatal skin yellow dye. Usually doctors observe the degree of yellowish skin to determine the severity of jaundice. Neonatal jaundice is not treated in time can cause brain damage or even endanger
