### AI overview

An MIT-developed collection of digitized electrocardiogram recordings became the foundation of PhysioNet, a global repository for biomedical and clinical data. The platform now hosts hundreds of databases and supports research users worldwide.

### Source excerpt

The visionary PhysioNet platform launched 25 years ago, based on a system developed at MIT in the 1970s. It has become one of the most comprehensive biomedical and clinical data repositories in existence.
