The Personal Mediscanner is a wristwatch sized medical scanner. It works by being attached to the wrist or other appendage. The device continuously monitors several key medical signals including heart rate, oxygen levels, blood sugar, and some others. The device can display the current readings on a small screen. By connecting to a HandComp or other computer system the whole history can be reviewed. The Mediscanner does not have enough computer power to do medical diagnosis, though several common medial emergency conditions can be detected. The Mediscanner can show alerts for these conditions.

The Mediscanner is specific to different species, and frequently is tuned to individuals to monitor specific medial conditions.
