Hybrid compute methods for wearable on-body detection utilizing multiple sensing modalities

A device comprising:

• a plurality of biosensors;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the plurality of biosensors and the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the processor configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:
• receive signal data from a first set of biosensors of a plurality of biosensors in a wearable device;
• determine an on-body or an off-body state of the wearable device based on the signal data;
• responsive to determining the on-body state, enabling the plurality of biosensors on-body to record signal data from the plurality of biosensors;
• responsive to determining the off-body state, disabling a second set of the plurality of biosensors to stop recording signal data from the second set of the plurality of biosensors;
• provide the on-body state or the off-body state to a data analysis engine;
• and
• provide the recorded signal data from the plurality of biosensors to the data analysis engine.

A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store at least executable instructions, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by a processor of a wearable computing device, cause the wearable computing device to perform functions comprising:

• receive signal data from a first set of biosensors of a plurality of biosensors in a wearable device;
• determine an on-body or an off-body state of the wearable device based on the signal data;
• responsive to determining the on-body state, enabling the plurality of biosensors on-body to record signal data from the plurality of biosensors;
• responsive to determining the off-body state, disabling a second set of the plurality of biosensors to stop recording signal data from the second set of the plurality of biosensors;
• provide the on-body state or the off-body state to a data analysis engine;
• and
• provide the recorded signal data from the plurality of biosensors to the data analysis engine.

A method comprising:
