Summary

This project will focus on testing the accuracy of ThermoSpot -a low-cost, color-based, temperature indicator in estimating the body temperature of Nigerian babies exposed to ambient temperature conditions. The particpants will be recruited among babies receiving Filtered Sunlight Phototherapy (FSPT) at Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso and other babies in the nursery at Bowen University Teaching Hospital.

There will also be an educational session to teach health workers and mothers about the signs for hypothermia and hyperthermia on the indicator. Then, the investigators will collect observational cross-sectional data on random days to see how many of the trained health workers and mothers were able to accurately recognize and provide appropriate response to warning signs on the indicator.
