PhysioNet
physionet.org
Repository of physiological and clinical research data, including openly accessible ICU and health record datasets for exploration without credentialing.
Why it is useful
Real-world healthcare data is normally locked behind institutional approval. PhysioNet's open-access subsets let researchers and students prototype on genuine clinical data before applying for access to the fully credentialed datasets.
