Etymology

The word 'telemetry' is derived from the Greek roots 'tele' meaning 'distant', and 'metron' meaning 'measure'. The term originated in the early 20th century as advances in technology allowed for the remote collection and transmission of data. The concept became more prominent during the Second World War, when it was used for applications such as monitoring flight data and weapon systems. Since then, telemetry has grown significantly, especially with the advent of satellite and computer technology, making it an essential tool in modern science, engineering, and medicine. Today, telemetry is widely utilized in various sectors, including environmental monitoring, healthcare, and aviation, reflecting its versatility and critical role in data analysis and decision-making.
