Systems and Methods for Collecting Biometrically Verified Actigraphy Data

A system for collecting biometrically-verified actigraphy data, the system comprising:

• a biometric sensor that outputs measured biometric input in respect of a subject;
• an actigraphy sensor wearable by the subject that outputs actigraph data when worn by the subject;
• a controller connected to receive the measured biometric input and configured to:
• process the measured biometric input to generate a current biometric signature of the subject;
• verify an identity of the subject by:
• comparing the current biometric signature of the subject to a previously obtained biometric signature from a database of previously obtained biometric signatures;
• and evaluating a proximity metric of the current biometric signature of the subject to the previously obtained biometric signature from the database;
• if it is concluded that the identity of the subject passes the identity verification, procure actigraphy data in respect of the subject from the actigraphy sensor;
• and
• at one or more times while obtaining the actigraphy data, repeat the steps of obtaining the measured biometric input, processing the measured biometric input to generate the current biometric signature of the subject and verifying the identity of the subject to ensure that the identity of the subject passes the identity verification at the one or more times.
