It is disclosed a method for calibrating an electronic device for measuring the concentration of a biological compound, in particular bilirubin. The method comprises the step a) of performing (10) a plurality of reflectance measurements for each reference strip of a plurality of reference strips (110-1, 110-2,... 110-8) having respective predefined concentration values of the biological compound,the step b) of calculating (20), for each reference strip, a respective value of a statistical reflectance indicator as a function of the plurality of reflectance measurements, generating a pluralityof values of the statistical reflectance indicator, the step c) of subdividing the plurality of values of the statistical reflectance indicator into at least two subsets (I, II, III), the step d) of interpolating (41 ) the values of the statistical reflectance indicator of each subset so as to generate an interpolation curve for each subset, the step e) of calculating (43), for each pair of interpolation curves relative to two adjacent subsets (I, II), a reflectance threshold value for which the difference of the reflectance values of the pair of interpolation curves is minimum, the step f) ofselecting, for each interpolation curve, a portion delimited at least in part by the respective reflectance threshold values, said portion being associated with the respective plurality of values ofthe statistical reference indicator, and the step g) of generating (50) a calibration curve of the electronic device by combining the selected portions of the interpolation curves.
