biotelemetry
Distant body monitoring
Biotelemetry is the remote monitoring of biological data from a living organism.
Sensors attached to or implanted in subjects—wildlife, hospital patients, astronauts—transmit measurements like heart rate, body temperature, or location to distant receivers: Biotelemetry revealed the whale's diving patterns.
The technology enables observation without physical presence or restraint.
