A system and method for electrocardiography and actigraphy data processing with the aid of a digital computer are provided. Samples of actigraphy event occurrences and samples of electrocardiographic signals are retrieved from a memory of a physiological monitor, wherein the samples of the actigraphy event occurrences are embedded among the samples of the electrocardiographic signals based on a time associated each of the samples of the actigraphy event occurrences and a time associated with each of the samples of the electrocardiographic signals. An actionable actigraphy event occurrence is identified from the samples of the actigraphy event occurrences. Those samples of the electrocardiographic signals that were sensed substantially concurrent to a time of the occurrence of the actionable actigraphy event are identified based on the embedding. The actionable event occurrence and the samples of the electrocardiographic signals that were identified are output.
