Abstract: An unverified activity metric is obtained for an activity performed by a user (602). The activity metric may be the distance travelled by the user, the number of repeated actions performed by the user, or an activity intensity classification. Physiological data is obtained for the user while performing the activity (604). The physiological data may be cardiac activity data, capacitance data, temperature data, or bioimpedance. The activity metric is verified by applying a verification function that uses the physiological data to verify that the user performed the activity (606). The verification function may verify that the physiological sensor is in proximity with the user from the physiological data.
