biotelemetry
Biotelemetry is the remote measurement and transmission of physiological data from living organisms to observers. It combines biological sensors with communication technologies to monitor biological signals and conditions without requiring direct observation or proximity. The term covers both implantable devices and external sensors, and it is used in medical, veterinary, and ecological contexts.
Systems typically include sensors that collect data, a transmitter or data logger, a power source, and a
Applications include clinical patient monitoring, chronic disease management, and perioperative care; wildlife biology and conservation through
Challenges involve device durability, battery life, data quality, and potential risks such as infection, device failure,
