== About ==

Picterus AS is a Norwegian medical technology company developing smartphone-based screening solutions for neonatal jaundice. Founded in 2015 with 16 employees.

== Product ==

=== Picterus Jaundice Pro ===

Picterus Jaundice Pro is a jaundice screening device consisting of:
* A smartphone app
* A color calibration card

The system turns any smartphone into a jaundice screening device, enabling parents and healthcare professionals to screen newborns for jaundice wherever they are. Key features:
* Approved for clinical use by healthcare professionals and caregivers
* Smart guidance ensures correct camera distance and positioning
* Quality check before photo capture
* Reliable results in seconds
* Color calibration card ensures accuracy

== Clinical Need ==

Neonatal jaundice is common in newborns, and early detection is important to prevent serious complications (kernicterus). While healthcare professionals typically assess newborns after delivery, jaundice symptoms may not appear until a few days after birth — often after the mother and baby have left the hospital. Home screening addresses this critical window.

== Market Position ==

Picterus competes with traditional bilirubin measurement methods (transcutaneous bilirubinometers, serum bilirubin). The smartphone-based approach offers significant cost and accessibility advantages for home use.
