GLUCOMETER

A glucometer helps measure glucose levels in the blood. It is not important for all households but if there is a diabetic person at your home, you might want to get one of these.

BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINE

An electronic blood pressure machine is also a gadget that you should keep handy. Some blood pressure machines give pulse rate readings as well. One can check for this feature while buying the gadget.

PORTABLE ECG MONITOR

You can get a portable ECG monitor that usually works in tandem with a smartphone app. This helps you take an ECG and keep a tab on your heart health. Also, most smartwatches like the Apple Watch and Fitbit come with built-in heart rate trackers that you can use to keep a check on your heart rate. The Apple Watch can also alert you about irregularities.

PULSE OXIMETER

Thanks to the ongoing pandemic, tracking blood oxygen levels or SpO2 has become very important. There are smartwatches in the market that come with SpO2 sensors but it is a better idea to get a proper pulse oximeter instead. Readings from an oximeter are derived by latching it on to the finger of a person. Some pulse oximeters also give heart rate readings.

MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEM

This device can be helpful if you have elderly patients at home. An emergency medical alert system is a handy device that allows people to call for help by just pressing a button. It is an easier way to call out for help in emergencies instead of having to shout or use a phone.
