1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
maintaining a first sensor and a second sensor included on a wearable device in a disabled state;
detecting, at the wearable device, an event;
in response to the event:
activating the first sensor, without activating the second sensor, to collect a first sensor data;
determining, based at least in part on the first sensor data, that the wearable device is within a defined proximity of an object;
in response to determining that the wearable device is within the defined proximity, activating the second sensor to collect a second sensor data;
determining, based at least in part on the second sensor data, that the object is an animate object;
in response to determining that the object is the animate object:
deactivating the first sensor;
continuing to collect the second sensor data; and
generating, based at least in part on the second sensor data, biometric data about the animate object;
while collecting the second sensor data, determining, based at least in part on the second sensor data, that the animate object is no longer detected; and
in response to determining that the animate object is no longer detected:
activating the first sensor to collect a third sensor data;
determining, based at least in part on the third sensor data, that the wearable device is no longer within the defined proximity of the object; and
in response to determining from the third sensor data that the wearable device is no longer within the defined proximity of the object:
disabling the first sensor; and
disabling the second sensor.
