Dynamic multi-device physiological measurement systems and methods

A system for determining a heart rate of a user, the system comprising:

• a first wearable electronic device comprising a first heart rate sensor and a first wireless communication device, the first wearable electronic device configured to operate the first heart rate sensor to determine a first heart rate metric at a first location on the user;
• a second wearable electronic device comprising a second heart rate sensor and a second wireless communication device, the second wearable electronic device configured to operate the second heart rate sensor to determine a second heart rate metric at a second location on the user;
• and
• a third wearable electronic device comprising a third heart rate sensor and a third wireless communication device, the third wearable electronic device configured to:
• operate the third heart rate sensor to determine a third heart rate metric at a third location on the user;
• receive at least one of the first heart rate metric and the second heart rate metric;
• determine, for a first measurement window, a first heart rate value for the user using the received one of the first and second heart rate metrics, the third hear rate metric, and a first set of weight parameters, the first set of weight parameters determined using first confidence metrics for each of the first heart rate metric, the second heart rate metric and the third heart rate metric;
• and
• determine, for a second measurement window, a second heart rate value for the user using the received of the first and second heart rate metrics, the third heart rate metric and a second set of weight parameters, the second set of weight parameters determined using second confidence metrics for each of the first heart rate metric, the second heart rate metric and the third heart rate metric.
