  • Portable ECG Devices: Compact heart monitors that provide real time cardiac analysis at home, clinics, or in the field.

  • Handheld Ultrasound Scanners: Small, lightweight devices giving instant imaging for quick diagnostics.

  • Pulse Oximeters: Finger sized devices to measure oxygen saturation within seconds widely used in hospitals and homes.

  • Glucometers & Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs): Easy monitoring for diabetes without visiting labs constantly.

  • Portable Ventilators & Oxygen Concentrators: Life saving devices now available in small, battery powered versions for home or emergency use.

  • Digital Blood Pressure Monitors: Compact devices that help track BP anywhere, reducing dependency on clinical visits.

:sparkles: These devices are making healthcare more accessible, efficient, and patient friendly bringing critical monitoring and diagnostics out of the hospital and into everyday life.

NO doubt that all these devices made a huge change in healthcare but i feel Digital BP monitors which are compact and helps in tracking BP made a big change because in India we see many middle aged to elders having Blood pressure and monitoring it is a huge task to go to nearby clinics or hospitals paying a nominal fee would be a task when compared to digital BP monitors where it has reduced the no. of visits to such clinics and hospitals
