PhysioNet Challenge

Heart Murmur Detection from Phonocardiogram Recordings: The George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge 2022

The goal of the Challenge is to identify the presence, absence, or unclear cases of murmurs in heart sound recordings collected from multiple auscultation locations on the body using a digital stethoscope. Participants are expected to design and implement a working algorithm that, based only on the provided recordings and routine demographic data, can determine whether any murmurs are audible from a patient’s recordings.
