ECG data attribution & licensing
The electrocardiogram (ECG) strips available in Foresight assessments are rendered as images by Foresight from clinical signal records published on PhysioNet. All data is drawn from PhysioNet's open-accessdatabases — not the credentialed-access tier — and is used under the open licenses identified below. This page provides the attribution required by those licenses.
