Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for continuously monitoring a user to determine when cardiovascular events are likely occurring and to responsively provide a prompt to a user to engage in additional physiological assessment of the putative cardiovascular event. Additional assessment can include the user engaging an additional sensor to provide signals that are more accurate, lower noise, or otherwise improved relative to a continuously-monitoring sensor used to initially detect the cardiovascular event. Detection of cardiovascular events includes using a cardiovascular classifier to determine, based on the output of such a continuously-monitoring sensor, whether the event is likely occurring. Such a classifier can be received from a cloud computing service or other remote system based on sensor outputs sent to such a system. Use of such a classifier can facilitate reduced false-positive detection of cardiovascular events based on the continuously-monitoring sensor, and thus reduce extraneous prompts to the user.
