| WFDB Software Package | Over 70 open-source applications for signal processing, analysis, and more, all built on a stable and easy-to-use library that can be incorporated into your own software. Latest update: Sunday, 13 May 2012 (summary here). |
| 27 Mar 2012 |
The PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2012 focuses on
predicting mortality in ICU patients. Sample entries, test frameworks,
scoring functions, and large sets of training and test data are available now.
Update (25 Apr): Phase 1 of the challenge, just concluded, drew participation from 39 individuals and teams. Phase 2 will open on 1 June. |
| 16 Mar 2012 | If you have digital recordings of signals or time series, perhaps with annotations, that you would like to study using PhysioToolkit software such as that in the WFDB software package, or that you would like to contribute to PhysioBank, our new tutorial, Creating PhysioBank (WFDB-compatible) Records, should get you started on creating PhysioBank-compatible records from your data. |
| 14 March 2012 | Use PhysioBank Record Search in your web browser to find records in PhysioBank that share a desired set of characteristics. The search engine is integrated with the PhysioBank ATM, so that records within search results can be examined individually and marked for further study if desired. The pbsearch software package includes sources for the PhysioBank Record Search web client, the server, a command-line client, and a set of plugins. |

The first release of the PhysioBank
Index contains essential information about all of the more than 36,000
records that can be viewed using the PhysioBank ATM. A web-based tool for
searching the index is under development (14 March update: see above). Users
who are comfortable using standard command-line tools can use them now, to
search the index for records with desired characteristics. Our new tutorial
provides guidance and examples.
Update (14 March): The pbindex software package is now available; it contains the sources for the software that generates the PhysioBank Index. |
| 29 January 2012 | Two new tutorials, How to create and manage a PhysioNetWorks project and How to Write HTML pages for PhysioNet, aim to help members of the research community to create, collaborate on, and publish sharable data and software. Several other tutorials have been updated recently, including A Brief Tour of PhysioNet, which now includes a demonstration of the PhysioBank ATM and an introduction to PhysioNetWorks. |
| 24 January 2012 | Our new tutorial, Variability vs. complexity, introduces the study of complex variability, especially in the context of physiology and medicine. |
| 20 January 2012 | The PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2012 is underway. This year's challenge focuses on methods for predicting mortality of ICU patients, using a rich set of physiologic and clinical variables collected from 12,000 patients. |
| 13 January 2012 | The MIMIC II Waveform Database Matched Subset is now available. It contains 4,897 waveform records and 5,266 numerics records from the MIMIC II Waveform Database, which have been matched and time-aligned with 2,809 MIMIC II Clinical Database records. |
| 6 January 2012 | The MGH/MF Waveform Database Patient Guide is now available. It provides additional information for each recording in the database, including (as available) age, sex, diagnoses, pertinent medical history, ECG interpretation, ventilation, a timeline of events that occurred during the recording, and additional clinical observations. |
