Description
Lena Sophie Olivier and colleagues describe building a detailed intensive care dataset for newborn and child patients at a German university hospital. The dataset logs bedside monitor and ventilator readings many times per second, alongside lab results, diagnoses, and hand-written notes.
Between September 2024 and January 2026, the unit enrolled 400 admissions from 359 patients, about 77 percent of those eligible. Newborn admissions numbered 227, spanning extremely early births to full-term babies, and child admissions numbered 173. The records cover 3,600 patient days and over 20,000 manual notes, amounting to about three terabytes of data. Olivier argues that pooling such datasets across hospitals would power stronger research and smarter care tools.
