Introduction

PhysioNet is an open-source platform focused on physiological signals and biomedical data, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide researchers, clinicians, and students with free data resources and analysis tools. Since its launch in 1999, the site has become an important resource in the fields of biomedical engineering, computational physiology, and clinical research.

PhysioNet core features: Data sharing: provide a large amount of physiological signals and clinical data, covering a wide range of signals such as ECG, EEG, respiration, etc. The data are usually from real patients or healthy volunteers and are accompanied by detailed annotations; provide a variety of open-source tools, such as the WFDB (Waveform Database) toolkit, for processing and analyzing physiological signals. Regular research competitions are organized to encourage the development of new algorithms to solve clinical problems, such as arrhythmia detection.

PhysioNet provides several classical datasets, e.g.: MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database: contains 48 ECG records, widely used for arrhythmia research. MIMIC-III: contains clinical data of intensive care unit patients, suitable for clinical research. Sleep-EDF Database: contains sleep EEG data for sleep studies.

Applicable People Researchers can obtain high-quality data to validate algorithms or models. Clinicians can explore the relationship between physiological signals and diseases to assist diagnosis. Students can learn physiological signal processing and data analysis to enhance their practical skills.

PhysioNet is maintained by researchers and engineers at the MIT Computational Physiology Laboratory. To get in touch please send an e-mail tocontact@physionet.org

Registration Process

PhysioNet registration is to add an institutional or educational email address as the primary email for PhysioNet. So we need to prepare an edu email address and register at https://physionet.org/register/ As shown below.

Thank you for registering, an email has been sent to ww@qq.com. Please click on the confirmation link to activate your account.

Registration Failure

Our commercial personal mailbox received a False error from PhysioNet Account Activation, indicating that PhysioNet does not allow the registration behavior of commercial mailboxes, what is a commercial mailbox, such as domestic Netease, Tencent, overseas Google, Microsoft and other commercial companies provide mailbox services are commercial mailboxes.

Successful registration

We changed to the academic edu email address as shown below, and PhysioNet Account Activation sent us an email about the successful registration.
