This paper provides an overview of existing methods for diagnosing pathological conditions of hematopoiesis with an emphasis on quantifying the level of hemoglobin in the blood. Both traditional invasive methods such as photometry and spectrometry and modern non-invasive approaches are considered. In particular, attention is paid to the use of portable devices and the integration of smartphones to measure hemoglobin levels, which is a promising direction for the development of diagnostics. The advantages and disadvantages of various technologies are analyzed, including accuracy, accessibility, patient convenience and cost-effectiveness. To analyze the available methods and devices for the quantitative determination of hemoglobin content in the blood. The analysis of existing models of hemoglobinometers is given, their characteristics and physical principles of operation are presented. The advantages and disadvantages of the above devices are revealed. The trends and vectors of the development of the field of measuring hemoglobin levels in the blood by invasive and non-invasive methods are presented.
