telemonitoring
Distance health tracking
Telemonitoring is the remote observation of patients using electronic devices that transmit health data—heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels—to medical professionals.
The technology allows doctors to track chronic conditions without requiring office visits: Her cardiac telemonitoring system alerts the clinic if her heart rhythm becomes irregular.
The practice expanded significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
