title: The telemetric and Holter ECG warehouse initiative (THEW): a data repository for the design, implementation and validation of ECG-related technologies.
abstract: we present an initiative supported by the National Heart Lung, and Blood Institute and the Food and Drug Administration for the development of a repository containing continuous electrocardiographic information to be shared with the worldwide scientific community. We believe that sharing data reinforces open scientific inquiry. It encourages diversity of analysis and opinion while promoting new research and facilitating the education of new researchers.
