1. A method of sensing wearer activity, including behavior events of a wearer of at least one wearable electronic device, the method comprising:
determining, using a processor, sensor readings, wherein at least one sensor reading is from a sensor of the at least one wearable electronic device that measures movement of a body part of the wearer;
determining, from the sensor readings, at least one gesture indicative of a start of a food intake event;
activating, upon determining the start of the food intake event, an image capture function to facilitate capture of image content related to the food intake event;
collecting, after activating the image capture function, at least one captured image or at least one captured video related to the food intake event;
determining, from the sensor readings, a sequence of gestures related to the food intake event;
deriving, from the sequence of gestures, event-specific parameters for the food intake event; and
storing the derived event-specific parameters in association with the at least one captured image or the at least one captured video related to the food intake event.
