METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING INDIVIDUAL HEALTH RELATED EVENTS

Last updated:

Abstract:

Individual health related events (e.g., handwashing events) can be detected based on multiple sensors including motion and audio sensors. Detecting a qualifying handwashing event can include detecting a qualifying scrubbing event based on motion data (e.g., accelerometer data) and a qualifying rinsing event based on audio data. In some examples, power consumption can be reduced by implementing one or more power saving mitigations.
