I was thinking the same thing (as in this resembles a GPS ankle-bracelet).

It sounds like the original research used a belt, which to me sounds like a more subtle device to wear:

I feel like a wired belt would raise even more troublesome questions. This situation will be more likely with a belt than an anklet:
