1. A method for power management of a user device comprising a plurality of sensors, the user device being wearable by or implantable in a user having a health condition, wherein each sensor is configured to provide corresponding physiological information of the user, and to be operated in a first power mode and a second power mode, wherein the sensor consumes less power in the second power mode than in the first power mode, the method comprising:
receiving a signal from a health device that has been activated to provide treatment of the health condition of the user, wherein the signal indicates that the health device is in use by the user and a type of the health device;
selecting at least one sensor from the plurality of the sensors of the user device based on the type of the health device in use;
gathering physiological information of the user during the treatment of the health condition for a time duration following activation of the health device using the selected at least one sensor;
operating the selected at least one sensor in the first power mode for the time duration to gather the physiological information of the user, and operating the selected at least one sensor in the second power mode after the time duration ends; and
measuring effectiveness of the treatment provided by the health device with regard to improving the health condition of the user based on the gathered physiological information during and after the time duration.
