As I understand it, juandice is simply a symptom. Once it is present, you have to monitor other functions.

The key is that more frequent blood tests are going to be done to monitor liver and kidney function. The question is how often is that going to be done anyway every day by the prudent physician. My guess is that these tests are the primary driver behind the "number of sticks".

From my research on the topic there are no real "set in stone" guidelines that must be followed when an infant develops jaundice. Every hospital has their own guidelines as far as monitoring depending on the region of the world, race of people, environment, etc. Liver & kidney functions would only have to be checked if the bilirubin would reach a "high level" and that "level" is determined by the hospital/physician.

*****The key here is the fact that bilirubin is monitored at every hospital all over the world and will need to be monitored at home for higher levels which are determined by the hospital/physician.*****

Remember, this device is non-invasive and IMO MORE checks for bilirubin levels will be done because of it. We have a winner here!
