PhysioNet: Research Resource for Complex Physiologic Signals

Description

About this Resource

The Research Resource for Complex Physiologic Signals, to which PhysioNet belongs, is a cooperative project initiated by researchers at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, Boston University, McGill University, and MIT, under the auspices of the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. This resource, intended to stimulate current research and new investigations in the study of complex biomedical and physiologic signals, has three closely interdependent components:

PhysioNet is an on-line forum for dissemination and exchange of recorded biomedical signals and open-source software for analyzing them, by providing facilities for cooperative analysis of data and evaluation of proposed new algorithms. In addition to providing free electronic access to PhysioBank data and PhysioToolkit software, PhysioNet offers service and training via on-line tutorials to assist users at entry and more advanced levels. PhysioNet is a public service of the Resource, accessible via the World Wide Web.

PhysioBank is a large and growing archive of well-characterized digital recordings of physiologic signals and related data for use by the biomedical research community. PhysioBank currently includes databases of multi-parameter cardiopulmonary, neural, and other biomedical signals from healthy subjects and patients with a variety of conditions with major public health implications, including sudden cardiac death, congestive heart failure, epilepsy, gait disorders, sleep apnea, and aging. These databases will grow in size and scope, and will eventually include signals from selected in vitro and in vivo experiments, as developed and contributed by members of the research community.
