Health monitoring system having a configurable data collection application

A computer-implemented method performed at a user device comprising a data collection application for obtaining health-related data from one or more data sources including one or more sensors, the health-related data comprising one or more of:

• data indicative of user health, and source data from which data indicative of user health can be derived, the method comprising:
• receiving, over a communications network, a data collection configuration from a health monitoring system, the data collection configuration comprising schedule data defining a schedule of data collection activities to be performed at the user device, each data collection activity for acquiring at the user device respective health-related data;
• configuring the data collection application based on the received data collection configuration, the configuring comprising determining based on the schedule data, for each of the data collection activities, a target time at which the data collection activity is to be performed by the data collection application;
• initiating, by the data collection application, the data collection activities in accordance with the determined target times to obtain health-related data for each data collection activity, wherein at least one of the data collection activities comprises obtaining sensor data using one or more sensors included in or in communication with the user device, the health-related data for the data collection activity comprising the sensor data;
• and
• transmitting result data to the health monitoring system based on the health-related data obtained for the data collection activities.
