Picterus wins the Angel Challenge prize final for 1 million NOK.

Picterus, an Oslo, Norway based startup providing a mobile solution for monitoring jaundice in newborns, received NOK 1M in investment money from Angel Challenge investors.

Picterus, founded in 2015 by Gunnar Vartdal and Lise Lyngsnes Randeberg, has developed a mobile application that makes it easy for monitoring jaundice in newborns. Untreated jaundice in newborns is responsible for more than 100,000 deaths and a substantial number of permanent brain damages each year. More than three quarters of these deaths occur in the poorest regions of the world, in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia.
