<sect1>Conversion of ECGs - ecg2png
<p>
<url url="http://www.cardiothink.com/downloads/ecg2png/" name="ecg2png"> converts scanned 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) into PNG format and a web-friendly image size. The problems this program solves are that an ECG scanned at relatively high resolution puts a large memory load on the Web browser because it contains about 6 million color pixels. Also, typical scanners convert a clean paper ECG into many colors, not just red, black, and white. The resulting file cannot be compressed efficiently and takes more time to transmit over low-speed network connections. This program shrinks the image while preserving the signal and cleans up the color map, yielding a bitmap that is well-suited for Web-based distribution of ECG images.

<sect1>PhysioNet
<p>
<url url="http://www.physionet.org/" name="PhysioNet"> offers free access via the web to large collections of recorded physiologic signals and related open-source software. PhysioNet is a public service of the Research Resource for Complex Physiologic Signals, funded by the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health.
<p>
The Research Resource for Complex Physiologic Signals, to which PhysioNet belongs, is a cooperative project initiated by researchers at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, Boston University, McGill University, and MIT, under the auspices of the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. This resource, intended to stimulate current research and new investigations in the study of complex biomedical and physiologic signals, has three closely interdependent components:
<itemize>
<item>
<it>PhysioNet</it> is an on-line forum for dissemination and exchange of recorded biomedical signals and open-source software for analyzing them, by providing facilities for cooperative analysis of data and evaluation of proposed new algorithms. In addition to providing free electronic access to PhysioBank data and PhysioToolkit software, PhysioNet offers service and training via on-line tutorials to assist users at entry and more advanced levels. PhysioNet is a public service of the Resource, accessible via the World Wide Web.
<item>
<it>PhysioBank</it> is a large and growing archive of well-characterized digital recordings of physiologic signals and related data for use by the biomedical research community. PhysioBank currently includes databases of multi-parameter cardiopulmonary, neural, and other biomedical signals from healthy subjects and patients with a variety of conditions with major public health implications, including sudden cardiac death, congestive heart failure, epilepsy, gait disorders, sleep apnea, and aging. These databases will grow in size and scope, and will eventually include signals from selected in vitro and in vivo experiments, as developed and contributed by members of the research community.
<item>
<it>PhysioToolkit</it> is a large and growing library of software for physiologic signal processing and analysis, detection of physiologically significant events using both classical techniques and novel methods based on statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics, interactive display and characterization of signals, creation of new databases, simulation of physiologic and other signals, quantitative evaluation and comparison of analysis methods, and analysis of nonequilibrium and nonstationary processes. A unifying theme of the research projects that contribute software to PhysioToolkit is the extraction of <it>hidden</it> information from biomedical signals, information that may have diagnostic or prognostic value in medicine, or explanatory or predictive power in basic research. All PhysioToolkit software is available in source form under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
</itemize>
A few interesting points not mentioned above:
<enum>
<item>
All of our software development is done under Linux. Contributed software, if not written for Linux, is ported to Linux. Almost all of the software is portable to other versions of UNIX, and to other operating systems as well.
<item>
Most of our applications for physiologic signal processing, analysis, and visualization are built using a common library layered over the W3C's libwww, permitting transparent access to data stored locally or on web servers (in other words, these applications can act as independent HTTP clients). Although they have been designed to support collaborative research, many will be useful in telemedicine applications. It's a fairly simple matter to create new applications using the library, and there is extensive tutorial and reference material on-line to help you get started on developing your own applications.
<item>
Among the collections of data are a number of standard annotated databases of electrocardiograms (including several such databases we created beginning in the mid-1970s, and others contributed by their creators) that are required by regulatory agencies such as the US FDA for testing of automated ECG analyzers in compliance with current ANSI and pending ISO standards. The support given us by the NIH NCRR allows us to make these data available freely on the web for the first time.
<item>
About 12 GB of data are on-line now, and our queue currently contains another 60 GB that will be added over the next several months as we add disk space to our servers.

An increasing role in data collection for instance in hospitals, will be played by handheld computers (HPCs) or Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). More commonly known as PALMs. Linux offers way to exchange these data to servers, for instance via the IrDA port. See <url url="http://mobilix.org/howtos.html" name="IR-HOWTO"> for details.

[004] - BMI 1.0
About: BMI is a tool to help dieting people. It calculates your Body Mass
Index (BMI) and gives you an indication of your fatness. It saves the
results in a file, so you can through the program look at the file, and
compare your results from one day to another. This gives you an overlook of
your weight development over a period of time.
