Baby Poo Check - Pediatrician

This app collects and helps pediatricians classify images of infants’ stools according to published stool color cards for early suspect and referral of biliary atresia. Biliary atresia is a rare liver disease occurring in 1 : 50.000 newborn/infants, initially presenting with prolonged jaundice (yellow skin color). Unlike “physiological” jaundice, biliary atresia almost invariably causes lack of biliary pigment in the stools, with whitish, clay-like appearance (hypo-acholic stools).

This app helps pediatricians identify hypo-acholic (abnormal) stools. This application is meant to collect photos in order to set the app software. Though, it is reserved to a team of research pediatricians. If you have not been invited yet, please contact us.

Baby Poo Check has been realized with the help of “ASST Giovanni XXIII” and “Associazione Amici della Pediatria”.
