The human body usually gives us enough indication that something could be wrong in its functioning. We need to observe and monitor our bodies to really understand what these indications or signals are. We compiled a page full of these health monitors that we especially think is of importance with elders at home.

Weight –

Don’t you remember those weighing scales your doctor would ask you step on? I am sure this would be one of your favorite moments at a doctor’s. Times have changed, they are digital weighing scales and look sexier today.

Blood Pressure –

A large population is susceptible to high or low blood pressure across the world. Once, you suffer from variations in blood pressure, your lifestyle needs to change – food, habits, exercise, work-life balance and also requires you to keep monitoring it regularly to notice and correct.

Blood Glucose Levels –

Blood glucose fluctuations are common in diabetics. Unchecked variations in blood sugar/glucose levels damages organs in the long run. It becomes imperative to regularly monitor sugar levels and today it can be done by the patient at home. Must have at home.

Pulse rate –

Again, a simple test done by the doctor every time you visit them. Heart pulse rate monitoring becomes routine for patients suffering from abnormal blood pressure. We have listed a cool, digital pulse rate monitor.

Body temperature –

The first sign of a viral/bacterial infection is noticeable via high body temperatures. Granted, this is needed when a patient suffers from one of these diseases, but it is a must have in every home. Very high body temperatures if unmonitored can permanently damage your body.
