Neonatal jaundice, also known as hyperbilirubinemia, is a shockingly common condition that occurs when infants' livers are not fully developed. Low-resource settings often do not have the necessary devices to treat infants with neonatal jaundice because traditional phototherapy devices are too expensive for the developing world. They are also impractical due to frequent power outages.
