title: [Contribution of instruments and devices to medicine personalization].
abstract: In this paper we are concerned not about "large and heavy", and very expensive medical instruments with high productivity, which are able to analyze enormous amounts of samples and are suitable to examine high number of patients - populations. We deal with much "smaller and lighter" devices, with limited range of targets, but effective for personal use. We observe something like a flood of these medgadgets, tools for individual testing. They can operate if placed both at the patients bed, on human body surface as well as inside the body and due to the progress in telecommunication technologies they can send information originating from their sensors via mobile phones or tablets, both to the patient and also to his physician (health care institution). The use of these devices has become available practically for all medical branches.
