Abdul has a hard time managing his glucose levels. His family is concerned so Abdul’s doctor suggests that he be fitted with a sensor that will continuously send readings of his glucose levels to the office. Then, if Abdul is not keeping his levels in check, the doctor has a record of it and can discuss with Abdul the times that seem to be challenging for him. What type of telecommunication is this an example of?

The situation described with Abdul receiving continuous readings of his glucose levels and the doctor having access to that data for discussion falls under the category of remote monitoring. This type of telecommunication allows for the continuous tracking of a patient's health metrics from a distance, enabling healthcare professionals to monitor conditions in real-time or near real-time.
