Abstract:
Our group have introduced a portable light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy system for treating neonatal jaundice. The device selects blue narrow-band LED as the light source, driven by MAX5035. The light intensity is linearly adjusted as the alteration of the pulse-width modulation signal, controlled by ATmega16L, and the value can be displayed in LCD12864. The device breaks the bonds of traditional phototherapy, it features small size and can provide an intense irradiance-controlled treatment as it's needed.
