Scientific and Medical Telemetry: Uses for the Greater Good

Telemetry, or remote monitoring equipment, is used in industries ranging from municipal water to environmental protection. We came across two interesting articles recently that described some of the more rewarding applications of telemetry equipment, and thought that we’d share with our readers.  This piece discusses telemetry and conservation, helping the overseas UK Environment Agency track endangered eels attempting safe passage to fresh water. The new telemetry system there allows scientists to gauge the success of an “eel pass” device installed to aid in this process.

We also found this news from Niagara Falls, NY, describing highly advanced telemetry equipment purchased by a hospital there. Direct access to patient data has never been easier, even remotely, and allows doctors to make quicker and more accurate diagnoses. One of the most interesting features is the ability to transmit data to a doctor’s smartphone or iPad. As technology continues to expand, keep following our blog here at Devar, Inc. for all the information.
