Wearables and sensor technology definitions

---

These definitions address devices that collect biometric, health, or movement data from workers, particularly in performance-driven or physically intensive jobs. Contracts often specify what kinds of wearables or sensors fall within the agreement’s scope, providing clarity around how data from these tools may be governed, used, or protected.

Examples: 

• “‘Wearables’ shall mean a device worn by an individual that measures movement information (such as distance, velocity, acceleration, deceleration, jumps, changes of direction, and player load calculated from such information and/or height/weight), physiological information (such as heart rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature, blood oxygen, hydration, lactate, and/or glucose), or other health, fitness, and performance information.” (NBPA-OLMS1)
• “As referenced in this Agreement ‘wearable technology’ refers to any equipment, program, software, device or attire which is designed to collect and/or analyze information or data related to a Player’s health or performance at any location (including on-field, offfield and/or away from the ballpark). Such technologies include, without limitation: activity trackers, electronic bat sensors, biomechanics compression attire, GPS/tracking compression attire and any device, sensor, equipment, attire or dashboard technology which is designed to measure a Player’s health, performance and/or readiness.” (MLBPA-PCBA6)
• “For purposes of this Subsection ‘Sensors’ shall mean any sensor, device or tracking device worn by an individual player used to collect, monitor, measure or track any metric from a player (e.g., distance, velocity, acceleration, deceleration, jumps, changes of direction, player load), biometric information (e.g., heart rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature, blood oxygen, hydration, lactate, and/or glucose), or other health, fitness and performance information.” (NFLPA-PCBA5)
