You must consider product’s size, compatibility, functional modes, display screen, guiding instructions, as well as the battery life. You should choose the one, which is approved by the doctors as well as medical associations. Usability You should choose a device, which is easy to use, handle, and have zero maintenance. The instructions/messages from the device should be easy to interpret and understand.
