monitored

Under constant observation

Monitored is the past tense of monitor, meaning watched, tracked, or checked systematically over time.

Something monitored receives ongoing observation: Her heart rate was monitored throughout surgery.

The word implies careful attention rather than casual glancing—doctors monitor patients, agencies monitor communications, teachers monitor exams.

The situation is being closely monitored.
