Summary:A transcutaneous non-invasive device and method for measuring bilirubin levels is provided. The device and method utilize optical, electrical, and mechanical means in communication with processing means to calculate the serum bilirubin concentration. Blanching pressure is applied to the tissue, whose thickness is measured. The level of bilirubin is calculated from the thickness of the tissue and the detected and measured values of radiation transmitted through the living tissue.
