Abstract
Well-characterized and comprehensive test data
sets are essential in the development and evaluation of biosignal
interpretation methods for intensive-care patient monitoring. The
IMPROVE (IMPROVing control of patient status in critical carE) data
library is an annotated data library that contains practically all the
monitored and other clinical data from critically ill patients at high
risk of oxygen-transport-related problems. The data, collected at the
Intensive Care Unit of the Kuopio University Hospital, is supported by
continuous patient-state assessments carried out by a bedside physician
and includes 59 patient records, each having a typical duration of 24
hours. In this article, we describe the technical setup of the system,
including what signals and parameters were collected and how the
annotations were done. We also discuss the lessons learned from the data
collection process.
