Medical Equipment that Could be Used at Home Medical care at home for seniors is focused to provide the supportive medical care that enhances the overall wellbeing while reducing the need of staying at a hospital. As the formal healthcare system has become increasingly stressed, patients are being released from the hospitals and other health care facilities still needing care.
There are various medical equipment that could be used at home, allowing the laypeople and the nursing care professionals to manage health of seniors at home. These technologies provide support not only for care related to acute and chronic medical conditions but also for disease prevention and lifestyle choices.
As a consequence, the need for being aware of the use of medical equipment in a home setup needs to be increased.
Recently some medical devices have been produced as consumer products that enable people to manage their own health care more conveniently and independently (and inexpensively). For example, a wide variety of blood and urine testing kits are available that detect different chemicals and conditions.

Migration of Medical Devices into a Home Setup The people who use medical devices may be professional or lay caregivers or the care recipients themselves. As a group, these users have diverse physical, sensory, cognitive, and emotional characteristics. Here is a list of home healthcare equipment that are easy to use and provide enhanced care in a home setup.
Medication Administration Equipment - devices used to administer medications in tablet, liquid, or aerosol form. Test Kits - kits used for measuring the presence of various chemicals in blood or urine. First Aid Equipment - equipment used to care for injuries or temporary conditions.
Assistive Technology - devices used to enhance personal capabilities, such as sensory abilities or mobility.

Durable Medical Equipment includes medical devices used to support performance of basic activities of daily living, such as beds, lifts, and toileting equipment. Meters/Monitors - includes a wide range of devices for determining health status or managing disease conditions, either one time or on an ongoing, intermittent basis. Treatment Equipment - equipment used to administer various medical therapies. Respiratory Equipment - equipment used to treat respiratory conditions. Feeding Equipment - devices used for feeding. Voiding Equipment - devices used for releasing urine or feces from the body.
Medical devices used in home healthcare need to be appropriate for the people who use them and for the environments in which they are used. The complete understanding of the age group for which the medical equipment is being used, can increase the living quality of the person while significantly reducing the stay at the hospital.
