LOWELL, Mass. - UMass Lowell students testing a new device that could transform the way heart-rate data is collected have won praise for their work from the American College of Sports Medicine.
A portable sensor that collects heart-rate data shows promise for its accuracy and convenience, according to research conducted by David Cornell, UMass Lowell assistant professor of physical therapy and kinesiology, and his students.

Used by researchers, clinicians and practitioners in many ways, the data can also provide clues about health and cardiovascular diseases risk, Cornell said.
