Abstract: Jaundice is a disease caused by excessive levels of bilirubin in the blood. It is very common in newborns and mainly in premature ones. By using resources such as LEDs with high luminous intensity and light to digital photoreceptors, the present article describes and evaluates a low cost bilirubin meter (Bilimed), which measures the total bilirubin in the blood serum samples of neonates, using the technique known as direct spectrophotometry. Samples of newborns were collected and measured in the equipment. The result was compared with reference values of a commercial bilirubinometer and with laboratory analysis in order to evaluate the equipment’s performance.
