Amanda Paluch, 2023 PEP Fellow, comments on research suggesting that a new metric, daily heart rate per step (DHRPS), could be used by smartwatches to gauge cardiovascular health
"DHRPS helps show how efficiently your heart responds to movement. If your heart rate stays lower while taking more steps, that’s a good sign of fitness and heart health," says Paluch, who was not involved with the study.
