1. A wearable device comprising:
a housing shaped to be coupled to a user;
a sensor integrated into the housing, wherein:
the sensor is operable to continuously or semi-continuously detect a vascular measurement of the user and, when operating semi-continuously, the sensor comprises measurement instants, wherein the measurement instants comprise recursive vascular measurements to monitor changes in a physiological condition corresponding to a vascular event, and wherein the sensor comprises:
an oxygen saturation sensor,
a respiration sensor,
a breath rate sensor, or
a cardiac sensor, and
the sensor comprises one sensor or an array of sensors; and
a processing device coupled to the sensor, wherein the processing device is operable to:
receive a first set of vascular measurement data associated with a first physical activity of the user, wherein the first set of vascular measurement data is captured by the sensor;
identifying a first data pattern in the first set of vascular measurement data as corresponding to the vascular event;
adjust the processing device to a data scrutiny level based on health risk information for the user, wherein the data scrutiny level includes a high data scrutiny level, a normal data scrutiny level, or a low data scrutiny level;
in response to identifying the first data pattern as corresponding to a vascular event, receive verification data from a non-continuous measurement device to verify that the user is undergoing the vascular event; and
in response to:
verifying that the user is undergoing the vascular event via the noncontinuous measurement device, tag the first data pattern as corresponding to the vascular event; or
verifying that the user is not undergoing the vascular event based on data received from the non-continuous measurement device, indicate that the first data pattern does not correspond to the vascular event.
