A phototherapy panel for use in an incubator having a cavity, the phototherapy panel comprising: a housing configured to carry one or more light sources, wherein the housing has a light emitting surface that is transparent or translucent, wherein the housing is configured to fit within the cavity, and wherein the housing has a height of 3 cm or less, a width of 35 cm or less, and a length of 45 cm or less; one or more light sources configured such that, responsive to activation of one or more light sources and responsive to the phototherapy panel being arranged in suitable proximity to an infant, electromagnetic radiation emitted by the one or more light sources is guided through the light emitting surface of the housing to provide phototherapy to the infant; one or more sensors configured to generate one or more output signals conveying information related to one or more parameters of the emitted electromagnetic radiation; and one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising a light module configured to control one or more light sources based on the one or more generated output signals such that an amount of emitted electromagnetic radiation is adjustable through one or more settings of the light module, wherein said one or more parameter include one or more of peak wavelength, wavelength band, emission spectrum, bandwidth, irradiance, luminance, and/or intensity of electromagnetic radiation and wherein said one or more output signals convey information related to the infant's age, posture, size, weight, status, physiological parameters, environmental parameters, infant-specific medical parameters, parameters associated with the state and/or condition, the breathing, the gas breathed, the heart rate, the respiratory rate, and vital signs. a housing configured to carry one or more light sources, wherein the housing has a light emitting surface that is transparent or translucent, wherein the housing is configured to fit within the cavity, and wherein the housing has a height of 3 cm or less, a width of 35 cm or less, and a length of 45 cm or less; one or more light sources configured such that, responsive to activation of one or more light sources and responsive to the phototherapy panel being arranged in suitable proximity to an infant, electromagnetic radiation emitted by the one or more light sources is guided through the light emitting surface of the housing to provide phototherapy to the infant; one or more sensors configured to generate one or more output signals conveying information related to one or more parameters of the emitted electromagnetic radiation; and one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising a light module configured to control one or more light sources based on the one or more generated output signals such that an amount of emitted electromagnetic radiation is adjustable through one or more settings of the light module, wherein said one or more parameter include one or more of peak wavelength, wavelength band, emission spectrum, bandwidth, irradiance, luminance, and/or intensity of electromagnetic radiation and wherein said one or more output signals convey information related to the infant's age, posture, size, weight, status, physiological parameters, environmental parameters, infant-specific medical parameters, parameters associated with the state and/or condition, the breathing, the gas breathed, the heart rate, the respiratory rate, and vital signs.
