There is little hope for stopping cheaters.

example: Moon Ribas, an artist, has a small vibrating sensor embedded permanently in her feet that communicates wirelessly and vibrates whenever there is an earthquake somewhere in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Ribas#Seismic_Sense

The idea can be extended to an implanted device that receives subtle signals from the user to have a representation of the game state and communicates back through gentle sensations.

They are now using a 15 minute delay to avoid outside communication. Jamming signals is also entirely possible.
The method in this article uses no outside communication or signalling at all
But the Moon Ribas example requires outside communication, I'm just saying that it seems possible to prevent using that effectively.

As for electronics, I assume most can be detected ? Maybe implants might pose a problem ?
