telemetry
Meaning: The automatic measurement and wireless transmission of data from remote sources to receiving equipment for monitoring and analysis.
Telemetry is used across many fields. In motorsport, telemetry transmits real-time data about a car's performance to the pit crew. In medicine, it monitors patients' vital signs remotely. In software, telemetry collects usage data and error reports from applications. The term has become contentious in technology, where users sometimes object to software telemetry as an invasion of privacy.
