A method and system for continuously monitoring basal heart rate are disclosed. The method comprises detecting a plurality of physiological signals of a user and in response to determining that the user is inactive, filtering the plurality of physiological signals to provide a set of data. The method further includes calculating the basal heart rate of the user using the set of data and an algorithmic process. The system includes at least one sensor to detect a plurality of physiological signals of a user, a processor coupled to the at least one sensor, and a memory device coupled to the processor, wherein the memory device includes an application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to carry out the steps of the method.
