Electronic monitoring refers to the use of technology to track and supervise individuals, often for legal or safety purposes. This can include devices like GPS trackers, ankle bracelets, or surveillance cameras that help authorities keep an eye on people under probation, parole, or house arrest. The primary goal of electronic monitoring is to ensure compliance with legal restrictions while allowing individuals to maintain some level of freedom. It can also be used in workplaces to monitor employee productivity or in healthcare settings to track patients' health metrics remotely.
