Exploring the IBIS data library contents: tools for data visualisation, (pre-) processing and screening. Improved Monitoring for Brain Dysfunction in Intensive Care and Surgery.
During the IBIS project a high-quality data library of continuous and intermittent physiological signals and variables from patients during intensive care and surgery has been collected. To facilitate exploration of the full content of this data library a data browser was developed, which offers a flexible graphical display of the collection of multivariate data. To supplement the functionality of the display of the 'raw' data, a set of screening and pre-processing tools has been developed. A separate trend analysis tool offers a convenient overview of an entire recording focusing on the slow changes in the general state of the patient and the interaction between different physiological subsystems seen from a long-term perspective. A frequency analysis tool for processing the electroencephalography (EEG) signals has been integrated in the data browser to facilitate a quick screening of the cerebral function. The data library is the foundation of the development and validation of biosignal interpretation methods. This process can potentially be more productive using the described tool for algorithm prototyping based on a graphical network specifying the interaction between data processing primitives.
