Individual health related events (e.g., handwashing events) can be detected based on multiple sensors including motion and audio sensors. Detecting a qualifying handwashing event can include detecting a qualifying scrubbing event based on motion data (e.g., accelerometer data) and a qualifying rinsing event based on audio data. In some examples, power consumption can be reduced by implementing one or more power saving mitigations.

Methods and apparatus for detecting individual health related events

Sensing circuitry of a first electronic device can be configured to sense a signal transmitted by the second, external electronic device contacting and coupling through the body of the user. The first electronic device can be configured to detect the contact while receiving data from the second device, and determine whether the signal transmitted by the external device corresponds an 'intentional touch,' or corresponds to a signal coupling between a different body part and the external device or through a different signal pathway (e.g., electromagnetically, through the air, etc.).
