On this page, you can search for files under various conditions as shown in the figure above and download retrieved files.

  • Start Date, End Date: search files based on the date the file was recorded
  • Bed: file search by bed name/operating room
  • Search Keyword: search by filename.
  • Tracks: list files by device/parameter name

File List

  • Filename, recording start time/end time, file uploaded time, and size are shown in the list.

API

Bulk file download can be done using Filelist and Download API. Please refer to VitalDB Web API or Intranet VitalDB API document. The following is the sample code to download files in bulk.

Please use “pip install vitaldb” before running our sample code.

import vitaldb

import os

import datetime

DOWNLOAD_DIR = "path/to/folder"

if not os.path.exists(DOWNLOAD_DIR):

    os.mkdir(DOWNLOAD_DIR)

if vitaldb.login('ID', 'PASSWORD', 'SERVER_IP', 'SERVER_PORT'):

    for f in vitaldb.filelist(bedname="D1", dtstart="2010-10-01", dtend="2010-10-02")

        opath = DOWNLOAD_DIR + "/" + f['filename']

        if os.path.exists(opath):

            continue

        vitaldb.download(f['filename'], opath)

Sample code below reads filenames from an Excel file and downloads them to a local PC.

import vitaldb

import os

import pandas as pd

DOWNLOAD_DIR = 'path/to/folder'

if not os.path.exists(DOWNLOAD_DIR):

    os.mkdir(DOWNLOAD_DIR)

df = pd.read_excel('list.xlsx')

if vitaldb.login('ID', 'PASSWORD', 'SERVER_IP', 'SERVER_PORT'):

    for idx, row in df.iterrows():

        filename = row['filename']

        opath = DOWNLOAD_DIR + '/' + filename

        if os.path.exists(opath):

            continue

        vitaldb.download(filename, DOWNLOAD_DIR)
