Abstract
A physiological signal such as a heart rate acquired from a monitoring device is processed to reduce interference, ambiguity, or artifacts arising during various activities. For example, the system can process a physiological signal to account for motion artifacts in the physiological signal and, thus, reduce the impact of movement on the physiological signal. Additionally, or alternatively, the system can process a physiological signal based on one or more measurement contexts associated with a wearable device. In general, the physiological signal processed as described herein can be useful as a reliable, continuous indication of a physiological parameter and, thus, can serve as the basis for other physiological assessments (e.g., heart rate variability) derived from the physiological parameter.
