A comprehensive dataset helping researchers solve real world challenges in critical care

Philips established the eRI platform as a key enabler for critical research in the intensive care field. The database is a repository of de-identified data collected in collaboration with our customers. This integrated dataset contains billions of high quality representative clinical data points that extend over more than 15 years including the COVID-19 pandemic period. The secure database is instrumental in product development and includes detailed clinical information such as vital signs, pharmacy and medication orders, lab results, diagnoses, and novel severity of illness scores. The dataset gives comprehensive insights on patient admissions, treatments, co-morbidities, readmissions, and clinical outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

Can researchers/clinicians access a sample of this data for research and development?

Philips is in collaboration with the Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to allow health care researchers access to a large scale critical care dataset: eICU Collaborative Research Database eICU-CRD of 200K patients to help advance machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. This is a subset of the large scale eICU Research Institute dataset mentioned above.  The original eICU-CRD dataset was first released in 2016. More than 3,000 users have used the original database with citations in over 660 published academic research papers. A new dataset is released in 2023 with data from 2020-2021 including data acquired during the COVID-19 pandemic.
