1. A system comprising:

  • a processor;

    an orientation sensor operatively coupled to the processor;

    a memory operatively coupled to the processor and configured for storing data and instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to;

    receive sensor data from the orientation sensor, the sensor data sampled at N hertz, wherein N is a predetermined frequency;

    determining, by the processor, and based on the sensor data, a number of steps by a human user per a unit of time;

    storing, on the memory, and based on the number of steps, a binary activity level in a sliding t minute window, wherein t is a predetermined amount of time;

    generating, by the processor, a binary string T comprising N consecutive time-slots, each time-slot from the N consecutive time-slots, indicating t minutes of activity, comprising;

    responsive to determining, in a first instance, that the number of steps in the sliding t minute window exceeds a predetermined threshold, assigning a “

    1”

    to a time slot corresponding to the first instance; and

    responsive to determining, in a first instance, that the number of steps in the sliding t minute window does not exceed the predetermined threshold, assigning a “

    0”

    to a time slot corresponding to the second instance; and

    outputting, to a computing device external to the system, the binary string.
