Biometric monitoring

Biometric monitoring refers to the use of unique physical or behavioral characteristics to identify and track individuals. Common examples include fingerprint scans, facial recognition, and heart rate monitoring. In everyday applications, biometric systems are used for security purposes, like unlocking smartphones or accessing secure areas. In healthcare, biometric monitoring can involve tracking vital signs or physical activity to manage health. This technology enhances security and provides valuable health insights, but it also raises privacy concerns about how personal data is collected and used.
