1. A method comprising:
performing a measurement of one or more physiological signals, the one or more physiological signals indicative of one or more physiological parameters of a user;
determining that at least one parameter of the one or more physiological signals meets a criteria threshold;
in accordance with the determination that the at least one parameter meets the criteria threshold, increasing an occurrence value;
determining that the occurrence value does not meet an occurrence threshold;
in accordance with the determination that the occurrence value does not meet the occurrence threshold:
determining that a first amount of time has elapsed since the measurement of the one or more physiological signals; and
in accordance with a determination that the first amount of time has elapsed since the measurement of the one or more physiological signals, resetting a sampling procedure; and
in response to resetting the sampling procedure:
waiting a second amount of time; and
performing a subsequent measurement of one or more subsequent physiological signals.
