Neonatal Jaundice is a common and usually harmless condition in newborn babies that causes yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes. In mild cases this usually goes away after 1 or 2 weeks. But sometimes a baby needs more help in the form of a medical treatment called phototherapy or light therapy.

The team at Neolight, a medical device company in Scottsdale Arizona, created Skylife to help babies with jaundice. Unlike larger systems that can only be used in a clinical or hospital setting and often result in parents and their baby being separated during the precious early days of life, Skylife is small, portable, and can even be used in a home setting allowing Parents and Baby the opportunity to stay together and bond.
