Transcutaneous bilirubinometers provide a non-invasive way to estimate total serum bilirubin levels in neonates by measuring the yellowness of the skin. They work by directing light into the skin and measuring the intensity of light returned at different wavelengths. Newer multi-wavelength meters like Bilicheck can account for factors like melanin and dermal maturity to provide accurate bilirubin levels without needing different conversion tables for different populations. While transcutaneous bilirubinomet
