Dataset Characteristics

• Focus on complex medical images and signals:
  • X-rays
  • ECG waveforms
  • Digital pathology / microscopy images
  • Additional modalities planned (“more to come”).
• Each dataset is built around challenging clinical problems where machine learning may be especially impactful (e.g., heart attack, cancer metastasis, cardiac arrest, bone aging, COVID-19).
• Every image or signal is linked to at least one ground truth outcome (what actually happened to the patient), rather than relying on clinician labels.
• Diverse data sources:
  • Collaborations with health systems across the US and globally.
  • Inclusion of under-resourced health systems whose data are typically underrepresented in machine learning.

Governance, Privacy, and Ethics

• All datasets are fully de-identified.
• No local download of raw data permitted; access is controlled in the platform environment.
• Non-commercial use only, to support open, broadly beneficial research.
