Key result
PhysioNet provides free web access to over 50 collections of recorded physiologic signals, time series, and open-source software to support biomedical research and engineering.
PhysioNet serves as a comprehensive open-source resource for physiologic signals and software to support biomedical research and engineering.
Enhances clinician access to physiologic signals; extends open-source tools for cardiovascular research.
PhysioNet provides free web access to over 50 collections of recorded physiologic signals and time series, and related open-source software, in support of basic, clinical, and applied research in medicine, physiology, public health, biomedical engineering and computing, and medical instrument design and evaluation. Its three components (PhysioBank, the archive of signals; PhysioToolkit, the software library; and PhysioNetWorks, the virtual laboratory for collaborative development of future PhysioBank data collections and PhysioToolkit software components) connect researchers and students who need physiologic signals and relevant software with researchers who have data and software to share. PhysioNet's annual open engineering challenges stimulate rapid progress on unsolved or poorly solved questions of basic or clinical interest, by focusing attention on achievable solutions that can be evaluated and compared objectively using freely available reference data.
