Preventing Endocrine Surveillance

Meaning

Preventing Endocrine Surveillance is the proactive implementation of legal, technical, and policy safeguards to protect individuals from the unauthorized, coercive, or non-consensual monitoring and interpretation of their hormonal and metabolic data by third parties. This protection is vital to ensure that highly sensitive physiological information, such as fertility status, stress markers, or metabolic health metrics, is not used to disadvantage an individual in employment, insurance, or social contexts. It upholds the fundamental right to privacy and bodily autonomy in the digital health ecosystem.
