“Daily heart rate per step (or DHRPS) is a simple calculation: you take your average daily heart rate and divide it by the average number of steps you take.
Yes, you’ll need to be continuously monitoring both measurements with a health tracker like an Apple Watch or Fitbit (the latter was used in the study), but the counting is done for you…
…
Researchers divided them into three groups based on their DHRPS score: low (0.0081 or less), medium (over 0.0081, but lower than 0.0147) and high (0.0147 or above).
The simplest way to improve or lower your score is to increase the number of steps you’re taking, Chen says.

I’m sure this will become standard, but until it does, you can just ask an A.I. model to calculate your numbers for you.
