In partnership with the Banyuwangi Regency Government, UNAIR has developed a phototherapy device called the Airlangga Bilirubin Sun (Airbilisun).<\/p>\n\n<p>The project team includes Dr. Mahendra Tri Arif Sampurna, Sp.A (K), Ph.D.; Prof. Dr. Irwanto, Sp.A (K); and Prof. Dr. Martono Tri Utomo, Sp.A (K). They were joined by Dr. Andi Hamim Zaidan, Ph.D.; Valentinus Mahendra Aron Quendangan, S.T.; Syah Reza Budi Azhar, S.Tr.Kes; and Zida Husnina, S.K.M., M.P.H.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1f8e163bf1ed2a395a64daf0b9ff26e1\"><strong>Introduction of Airbilisun<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>The device was formally introduced on Saturday (Aug. 23, 2025) at Blambangan Regional Hospital in Banyuwangi, where UNAIR and the local government hosted a training session for 50 pediatricians, community health doctors, and neonatal nurses. The session provided both an overview and practical training in how to operate the device.<\/p>\n\n<p>Explaining its function, Dr. Sampurna said the Airbilisun uses an optical filter panel to block harmful UV-A, UV-B, and infrared rays while allowing safe blue light to pass through. The bilirubin in an infant\u2019s skin absorbs the blue light, accelerating its breakdown. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis process lowers bilirubin levels, prevents jaundice from worsening, and protects babies from the risks of skin damage or cancer caused by direct sunlight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>He added that the device was inspired by technology developed by Prof. Henk Vreeman of Stanford University, a specialist in phototherapy lamps. \u201cThe difference is that we adapted it to local needs. The patented component is the optical filter, while the frame is made simple and comfortable for infants,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-33b4c5db9e3e3cd4fd1811293d4ddeaa\"><strong>Community response and outlook<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>For now, UNAIR has donated two Airbilisun units to the Banyuwangi Regency Government. Deputy Regent Mujiono welcomed the innovation, calling it part of the region\u2019s commitment to child health. \u201cBanyuwangi can be a pilot project for Airbilisun. Our government is ready to support it, and we hope this tool will serve families across the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Prof. Dr. Soetojo, Dean of UNAIR\u2019s Faculty of Health, Medicine, and Natural Sciences (FIKKIA) at the Banyuwangi campus, also praised the effort. \u201cUNAIR has created a specialized and affordable device that helps infants with jaundice recover safely,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Author: Ahza Riga Falimbani<\/p>\n\n<p>Editor: Khefti Al Mawalia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNAIR NEWS &#8211; 51动漫 (UNAIR) has expanded its public health outreach with a new innovation to treat infant jaundice, or hyperbilirubinemia.
