About this episode

The episode discusses the development of a wearable onesie for treating jaundice in newborns by the University of Minnesota's Wearable Technology Lab.

The University of Minnesota's Wearable Technology Lab is developing a onesie embedded with sapphire-blue LED lights to treat jaundice in newborns, allowing for parental contact during therapy. This project, led by Lucy Dunne, aims to integrate wearable technology with traditional garments to improve medical treatments. The lab also explores wearable solutions for various health conditions, including compression garments for circulatory support and behavioral interventions. Dr. Katie Satrom emphasizes the importance of maintaining low bilirubin levels in infants, and the onesie shows promise in enhancing phototherapy delivery, with ongoing tests leading to clinical trials.
