A new and simple method of blood bilirubin detection through light reflection from skin is developed. The basic improvement over the existing methods is in the design of the light emitter and detector geometry which facilitates a two-stream plane parallel homogenous medium solution to the emitting-scatterig radiative transfer equation. The forward peak in the scattering phase function that is characteristic of water droplets and water filled media is accounted for through a proper method named delta-Eddington approximation.
