1. A method for collecting biometrically-verified actigraphy data, the method comprising:

  • obtaining measured biometric input in respect of a subject from a biometric sensor and processing the measured biometric input to generate a current biometric signature of the subject;

    verifying 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, obtaining actigraphy data in respect of the subject from an actigraphy sensor worn by the subject;

    at one or more times while obtaining the actigraphy data, repeating 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.
