Abstract :
To support biomagnetic and bioelectric research and evaluation, we present a conceptual data model for integrating biosignal records and clinical data and show its implementation as a relational database system for ECGs and MCGs together with all further relevant patient data. Database design principles and special attention to ongoing research procedures and evaluations yield to a generalised, flexible and open-ended data model for biosignal databases
