self-monitored

Watched by oneself

Self-monitored describes something tracked or regulated by the person or entity responsible for it, rather than by an outside authority.

A self-monitored blood glucose level is one the patient checks personally.

Self-monitored industry standards are enforced by the industry itself.

The term often implies either personal responsibility or insufficient external oversight, depending on context.
