Neonatal jaundice is a common condition in newborns, characterized by elevated bilirubin levels. Conventional phototherapy treatments for neonatal jaundice typically require hospital admission, separation from mothers, and may interfere with breastfeeding and bonding. The Blue Light Universitas Indonesia (BLUI) LED phototherapy blanket was developed to address these limitations by providing a portable, home-based alternative that maintains mother‑infant contact while delivering effective therapy. The objective of this preliminary study was to evaluate the efficacy of the BLUI LED phototherapy blanket in reducing bilirubin levels in infants with physiological jaundice. Fourteen infants who met the inclusion criteria underwent BLUI blanket phototherapy, with bilirubin levels measured before and after 24 hours of treatment. The results demonstrated a mean bilirubin reduction of 3.11 mg/dL (19.02%) after 24 hours, with the intervention well tolerated and minimal adverse effects. The BLUI blanket is an effective and safe phototherapy device for reducing bilirubin levels in infants with physiological jaundice, supporting further research in larger populations.

BLUI blanket phototherapy significantly reduced serum total bilirubin levels by an average of 3.The intervention was well tolerated, with minimal adverse effects.These findings support the use of the BLUI blanket as an effective, safe, and portable alternative to conventional phototherapy for neonatal jaundice.

1) Meneliti efektivitas BLUI blanket pada bayi dengan jari‑jari bilirubin yang lebih tinggi menggunakan kelompok kontrol gaya konvensional dalam uji klinis terkontrol untuk mengukur perbedaan hasil. 2) Memperluas studi pada jangka waktu lebih panjang dan populasi yang lebih besar untuk mengevaluasi risiko kerusakan jantung dan perkembangan neurologis. 3) Mengembangkan prototipe BLUI blanket yang terintegrasi dengan sistem pemantauan digital untuk memantau parameter vital secara real‑time dan menyesuaikan intensitas cahaya secara otomatis berdasarkan tingkat bilirubin pasien.
