DURHAM, N.C. – A team led by Duke University engineering graduate student Vijay Anand has developed an affordable LED-based jaundice treatment for newborns that will cost roughly 95 percent less than currently available technology. The technology, called Photogenesis, won the $100,000 Duke University Engineering World Health CUREs competition. Anand will receive an executive salary and one year of incubation in Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering to facilitate product development and fuel global market development.
Jaundice, known for the yellowing of a baby’s skin and eyes, is a common medical condition in newborn babies caused by an excess of bilirubin in the blood.
