First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if a new tool called CODESNA could measure chronic stress at work by analyzing heart rate patterns. Researchers compared the tool's results with standard stress questionnaires in 30 hospital employees. The study was stopped early, so it is unclear how well the tool works.
