Abstract: The availability of new, higher intensity Blue Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs), as used in the development of our LED phototherapy blanket, led us to hypothesise that our blue LED phototherapy system would phototransform bilirubin more rapidly, in vitro, than the current commercially available, state-of-the-art phototherapy system. Furthermore, we theorised that increasing light intensity, beyond levels previously studied, would lead to increasing rates of bilirubin phototransformation.
