1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a wrist-worn device, first data detected by the wrist-worn device, wherein the first data comprise audio data indicative of consumption of a product by a user wearing the wrist-worn device;
identifying, based on the audio data, a sound profile indicating that a first type of food or liquid was consumed;
determining, based on the sound profile, one or more scores indicative of types of food or liquid, wherein a first score of the one or more scores indicates that the first type of food or liquid was consumed by the user;
determining that the first score exceeds a score threshold;
determining, based on the first score exceeding the score threshold, that the product is the first type of food or liquid;
determining, based on the first type of food or liquid, a characteristic associated with the product;
determining a first device associated with detecting a measurable attribute associated with the characteristic;
sending a request to the first device to increase a sampling rate or frequency at which to detect second data associated with the measurable attribute, the request comprising an indication of the sampling rate or frequency and a time period during which to apply the sampling rate or frequency;
receiving, by the wrist-worn device, the second data detected using the sampling rate or frequency;
generating, based on the second data, one or more messages associated with consumption of the first type of food or liquid; and
displaying the one or more messages.
