Personal diagnostic equipment refers to portable, user-friendly devices designed for individuals to monitor their health at home or on the go. These tools empower users to track vital signs and manage medical conditions, often under medical guidance. Key features and examples include:

- **Blood Pressure Monitors**: Automated wrist or arm cuffs (e.g., Omron, Withings) measure systolic and diastolic pressure and pulse rate, aiding hypertension management.
- **Pulse Oximeters**: Clip-on devices (e.g., Zacurate, Nonin) measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate, useful for respiratory conditions like COPD or post-COVID monitoring.
- **Glucose Meters**: Compact devices (e.g., Contour Next, FreeStyle Libre) for diabetics to monitor blood sugar levels via fingerstick or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors.
- **Thermometers**: Digital or infrared models (e.g., Braun, iHealth) for quick, accurate temperature readings to detect fever.

- **Wearable Devices**: Smartwatches or fitness trackers (e.g., Fitbit, Apple Watch) monitor heart rate, sleep patterns, and activity levels, with some offering basic ECG or SpO2 functions.
- **Peak Flow Meters**: Devices for asthma patients to measure lung function and monitor airway obstruction.
