This document provides an itemized investigation of the Phototherapy Air bed designed and curated to maximize the comfort level of phototherapy treatment of new born babies. Phototherapy bed is normally hard for infants and opaque, which restrict the ultra violet light from floor side to hit the babies back side. Thus doesn’t give comfort to the babies which causes them unrest during the treatment and decreases the efficiency of the breakdown of bilirubin by bili-lights and thus results in bad or inefficient treatment. Beds had been designed like gel-pads and bubble wrap to give them comfort and increase the exposure of lights on neonatal but hadn’t been that much successful due to their difficulty in application. Thus we had designed a very comfortable and easily equitable air bed which smoothly changes the pressure points of babies while they lay on it and gives them maximum comfort like a home bed which eliminates their random motion on the bed surface and also enhance the body surface area to exposure of Ultra- Violet Rays which maximizes efficiency of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and eases treatment of neonatal jaundice.
