What features would we like to see in a "PhysioNet" Python package?
tompollard opened this issue · comments
A while back I created a template for a PhysioNet Python package:
https://github.com/MIT-LCP/physionet
The package is essentially empty (other than a couple of functions that I added for https://professional.mit.edu/course-catalog/machine-learning-healthcare). If changing or removing these functions, we should make sure that we don't break anything for future iterations of the course.
What kind of features would we like to see in a Python package that integrates with PhysioNet? e.g.:
- Discover. Support discovery of datasets based on search criteria
- Access. Facilitate access and download of datasets
- Reuse. Support loading of data into popular data structures
There is probably some overlap with https://github.com/MIT-LCP/wfdb-python so we should also think about how the two packages would co-exist.
