Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring adherence to healthcare guidelines defining a recommended level of physical activity. Metabolic Equivalent (MET) data for a user over a plurality of days is analysed to determine whether sufficient MET data is available, by determining whether the obtained MET data includes at least a minimum amount of MET data within a defined time period. In response to a determination that sufficient MET data is available, the MET data is compared to guideline MET values relating to the recommended level of physical activity, to determine whether the user has achieved the recommended level of physical activity. An adherence result is outputted in accordance with the result of the comparison, indicating whether the user has achieved the recommended level of physical activity. The adherence result can be outputted in the form of a message displayed on a display unit.
