Pei Chen's research centers on the associations among sleep, physical activity, heart rate variability and glycemic variability in individuals with Type 1 diabetes. Drawing on wearable sensor data and advanced statistical methodologies, she aims to elucidate the behavioral and physiological mechanisms underlying glycemic instability. She received both her bachelor's and master’s degrees in nursing from universities in China. Her long-term objective is to develop precision lifestyle interventions that optimize metabolic outcomes and reduce cardiovascular risk in diabetes care.
