Did you read the very first sentence of the article?

  Yes, and that is why I was asking for the treadmill. The article was confusing from the point of view of the user: go to the treadmill and see your heartbeat appearing. What will replace ANT+ in the future? How sport machines like treadmills will react to this reality? You need two to tango: health devices are only one side.

    It looks like they're saying treadmills etc will "balkanize" to build their own protocols. that seems more difficult than something based off bluetooth. i agree that the article gets more vague the longer it got. i guess time will tell.

    Bluetooth Low Energy will largely replace ANT+. There has been a heart rate profile available for years which most heart rate monitors support. Unfortunately, most treadmills are kind of crap for connectivity. https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/heart-rate-profile-1-0/ https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/heart-rate-pr...

      Isn't that just a BLE broadcast? Wouldn't it have the same fate with this regulation? You only get encryption from pairing, and I don't remember my BLE cadence sensor needing pairing.

    i like "the article mentions that" definitely!
