Project Aims

• Database development and annotation. Collect and annotate a comprehensive new database from ICU patients to support research in patient monitoring. The final database will contain detailed physiological and clinical data along with UMLS-coded physicial annotations of hemodynamically significant events.
• Database de-identification and publication. The database has been de-identified and is now available to the research community via PhysioNet (http://www.physionet.org/mimic2)
• Development of an advanced monitoring system. Innovative algorithms and clinician interfaces will be developed to assist in the annotation process and to create a prototype advanced monitoring system.
• Testing of an advanced monitoring system. Evaluation of the monitoring tools and interfaces will begin in the laboratory utilizing the new database. Later, industry constructed monitoring system prototypeswill be developed and evaluated in clinical settings at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
