1999 News

QT Database

Nov. 16, 1999

The QT Database is now on-line, with over 100 fifteen-minute two-lead ECG recordings (many excerpted from other databases), with onset, peak, and end markers for P, QRS, T, and (where present) U waves of from 30 to 50 selected beats in each recording.

New Publications page

Oct. 28, 1999

The PhysioNet Publications pages have been started, with the contribution of a paper on human gait maturation together with the raw data on which the study was based (now a Class 2 database available from the PhysioBank on-line archives). Look for more papers and data in the coming weeks and months. If you have data or software that may be of interest to other users of PhysioNet, and a related publication, please consider contributing a copy of your publication and its supporting data or software to the Publications pages. We also encourage contributions of publications that make use of existing PhysioBank data or PhysioTools software.

New Tutorials page

Oct. 28, 1999

The first of a planned series of tutorials is now available. These tutorials emphasize hands-on exploration of the data and software available via PhysioNet. The first tutorial introduces detrended fluctuation analysis and approximate entropy in the context of studying changes in gait and heart rate dynamics with age and disease. Your feedback is welcome!

Sept. 17, 1999

Now available: a beta version of the WFDB software package, with built-in HTTP and FTP client support for WFDB applications. It is possible to view and analyze PhysioNet recordings using any of these applications without downloading them to local storage first, and without the use of a web browser.
