1. A method for monitoring, the method comprising:
providing a user attached monitor, wherein the user attached monitor device includes:
a strap operable to secure the user attached monitor device to a wrist of a monitored individual;
a first sensor for detecting a sensed, passive biometric data; and
a second sensor for detecting a sensed, active biometric data;
a continuity-based tamper sensor including a conductive element extending through the strap;
receiving the sensed, passive biometric data;
based at least in part upon the sensed, passive biometric data, requesting the monitored individual engage the user attached monitor device to enable the second sensor to sense the sensed, active biometric data;
detecting a continuity status using the continuity-based tamper sensor; and
determining a tamper status of the user attached monitor device based at least in part on a combination of the continuity status and at least one of the sensed, passive biometric data and the sensed, active biometric data.
