jaundice is a condition which is caused due to the accumulation of the high levels of the bilirubin that turns the skin into yellow. chance of getting jaundice for babies is high. This is because their metabolisms aren’t so adaptable and liver has trouble getting rid of the toxins. Though this condition can be treated with light therapy, where baby needs to be baby led alone and naked inside an incubator. A new material could replace this uncomfortable experience, by instead wrapping infants inside snug pyjamas that radiate light inwards and set them on a warmer, more comfortable path to full health.

If the bilirubin accumulates to the toxic degree than that leads to the injured to the brain that is called kernicterus, which can cause things like athetoid cerebral palsy and hearing loss.

This can be stoped with therapy that applies light at intensities of 30 microwatts per square centimetre in the blue spectrum. This transforms the bilirubin into a more soluble form that the infant’s under-developed organs are then capable of disposing of the body. It happened inside an incubator, where the baby must be blindfolded, naked and beyond a mother’s reach. If nothing else, it is not an ideal introduction to the world. But a new material developed at Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) could enable infants to undergo this treatment while snug and warm in their mother’s arms.

It is made up of the optical fibres into it that use battery-operated LEDs as a light source. These optical fibres match the diameter of regular fibres used in the fabric and are arranged at just the right angle to direct the light uniformly onto the baby’s skin inside, meaning they don’t need a protective mask. The team says the resulting material could be worked into a sleeping bag, and because it only sends light inwards, no blindfolds would be necessary.
“The photonic textiles are washable and tolerated well by the skin”, says Maike Quandt, lead author of the study, which involved studying how breathable the textiles are using a thermoregulation model. “The satin fabric is smooth and matches the wearing comfort of a typical baby onesie.”
In its current prototype form, the fabric radiates blue light at lower intensities than 30 microwatts per square centimetre, but the team says that developing it for commercial production shouldn’t be too complicated, as boosting the intensity just means using stronger LEDs.
