LAUSANNE — The International Sports Committee today published its guidelines for the use of wearable telemetry devices during live athletic competitions. The standards focus on protecting athlete biometrics and ensuring data security.

The guidelines specify parameters for what data can be broadcast.

Telemetry Guidelines * **Restricted Metrics**: Bans the live broadcast of raw heart rate or muscle fatigue data without athlete consent. * **Data Security Standards**: Requires encrypted transmissions for all telemetry hardware worn on-field. * **Consent Framework**: Establishes a formal opt-in system for athletes to monetize their performance data.

Committee representatives stated, 'Wearable telemetry devices provide fans with exciting insights. However, we must ensure that athlete health data remains secure. Our new guidelines establish a balanced framework that protects privacy while supporting media innovations.'
