It would have been interesting if it were able to do prediction based off a mobile phone sensor (like the heart rate apps).

I definitely agree! The challenge is collecting a large number of heart recordings from mobile phones, along with professionally diagnosed abnormalities. That's one reason this physionet dataset is so valuable.

ICYMI: cardiogram is doing this with the apple/android watch (possibly other devices). they're not using phone sensor data yet to my knowledge though...

Thanks for the shout-out! We posted a few example normal and abnormal heart rhythms from Apple Watch here: https://blog.cardiogr.am/what-do-normal-and-abnormal-heart-r...

Joe: this is really cool work! Happy to chat if you'd like: brandon@cardiogr.am.

I've seen you post before and I think you guys are doing really interesting work.

I know the feeling. :) Thanks for the comment and the earlier warning.
