In one or more implementations, measurements of a user generated by a wearable monitoring device during an observation period are obtained, the measurements including accelerometer data. Physical steps taken by the user are detected based on peaks in the accelerometer data above a threshold, and a step count is generated based on the detected physical steps within predetermined time epochs. Activity level classifications of the user for the predetermined time epochs are generated based on the step count. The step count and the activity level classification for the predetermined time epochs may then be output, such as a notification or in a user interface. Fall predictions may be generated and output by processing the accelerometer data using machine learning models trained to correlate patterns in accelerometer data to fall events.
