How it started

Bilihome began when our founder Rick watched his newborn in an incubator after a traumatic birth. His story—along with countless others—continues to drive us today, fueling our mission to keep parents and babies close, even during medical treatment.

About Us

Keeping Families Together, Even in Treatment

At bilihome, we are dedicated to revolutionizing jaundice care with wearable phototherapy, ensuring newborns receive the treatment they need while staying close to their parents—because no baby should start life in separation.

More than a Device: a Partner in Zero-Separation Care

At bilihome, we aim to go beyond offering an innovative device—we support both parents and hospitals in ensuring newborns receive the best possible care. We believe in working closely with hospital staff to make the transition to zero-separation jaundice treatment as smooth as possible, so hospitals can start using the new care path quickly and with confidence. Together, we make zero-separation not just an option, but the norm.
