Hola beautiful people,

It has been a while I didn't share a story with you. Now we have been more than a year in this COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have been suffered enough from this new virus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illnesses.

The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently and not touching your face. 

In today's story, I want to share with you about the health monitoring that can be done at home, just a simple health monitoring to know your health state. Health monitoring is equally important in terms of prevention, particularly if the early detection of diseases can reduce suffering and medical costs. The diagnosis and prompt treatment of various diseases can radically improve alternatives for the patient's medical treatment. 

Amidst the lockdown and delays in accessing healthcare, keeping a regular check on one’s health becomes necessary to prevent potential medical emergencies. Thanks to evolving technology, some health devices prove highly useful in easily monitoring the health of your loved ones. Health gadgets are incredible tools as they help people to devise a plan to enhance one’s body and monitor their health progress and in return, people can track their health conditions and health improvements. 

“Continuous monitoring helps patients and doctors react appropriately by keeping records of blood pressure, blood glucose, body temperature, pulse, heart rate, and respiratory rate. Keeping records aid doctors to know about the real condition of a patient and help them take action smartly. Moreover, in these uncertain times, checking health parameters like temperature, oxygen level and heart condition will help detect COVID-19 infection much early in case the figures are unusual”, said Dr Wong Teck Wee, Consultant Cardiologist of iHeal Medical Centre. 

“Health monitoring from home is part of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), which is a new option to seek for medical consultation under the new norm. RPM Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) uses information technology to gather patient data. Patients share their health condition and home monitoring record to the healthcare professionals via the digital platform. This could help to ensure the information contained in their health record is accurate, updated and inclusive. Importantly, vital signs information allows healthcare professionals to make an accurate assessment”, Dr Wong added.

From respiratory health to heart health and blood glucose tracking, home health monitors can provide insight into many bodily functions without needles, appointments, and invasive procedures. All you need is to take control of your health by having a range of reliable health devices series at home so that you could conduct and monitor your daily body health at your own convenience and medisana medical gadgets are able to help keep a check on your vital parameters.

Medisana is making primary care accessible to many by giving people access to home checks such as those below could be used to support the diagnostic process. 

Pulse Oximeter

A small equipment that clips onto a person’s finger, the pulse oximeter helps in detecting blood oxygen levels. In particular, if you have someone having respiratory issues, the device can be of great help. The normal blood oxygen saturation level for someone who is healthy will be around 95–100 per cent. According to World Health Organization (WHO) Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Report-41, “Oxygen therapy is the major treatment intervention for patients with severe COVID-19. All countries should work to optimize the availability of pulse oximeters and medical oxygen systems”.

Blood Pressure Meter

According to a report done by the Department of Statistics Malaysia, Ministry of Health, Ischemic Heart Disease (coronary heart disease) is the No.1 cause of death in Malaysia in 2019. Diabetes, Hypertension and High Cholesterol level are the major Non-Communicative Diseases (NCDs) in Malaysia. Especially in this pandemic era, stress and an inactive lifestyle have become one of the major factors for hypertension. Thus, having this medical device at home is a wise investment to detect high blood pressure earlier. 

Thermometer

Given the flu season and ongoing pandemics, having a thermometer at home is an essential medical tool. Our temperature reading changes based on where on our body we measure it. We could seek medical advice in the earlier stage if there are abnormal symptoms associated with fever or hypothermia (low body temperature). 

Regular health checks are the key to maintaining a healthy life. Keeping health monitoring equipment at home helps in managing chronic conditions and may save a life in the hour of need. In this global pandemic and its uncertainties, health should remain a priority.
