Wearable technology continuously monitors heart-rate recovery to predict risk

The time it takes the heart to return to its baseline rhythm after exercise can predict a host of cardiovascular or metabolic disorders. In a new study, scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign used a “smart shirt” equipped with an electrocardiogram to track participants’ heart-rate recovery after exercise and developed a tool for analyzing […]

Anxiety research leverages computational resources and support on campus

What if you could create a system that used machine learning to better monitor anxiety? Such a tool would be extremely useful for doctors and patients. Anxiety comes in varying degrees of severity, and knowing exactly what triggers anxiety would make it easier for doctors to determine the best treatment while also providing patients valuable […]
