Property	Value
Patients	1,234
Diagnostic groups	9 (healthy + 8 diseases)

Dataset Structure

`metadata.csv`

CSV file containing patient metadata with the following columns:

Column	Description
`Patient_id`	Unique patient identifier
`Patient_age`	Age in years
`Patient_gender`	Gender (0 = female, 1 = male)
`Diagnosis`	ICD-10 diagnosis code
`D_class`	Disease class (0–7)
`D_bin_class`	Binary class for one-vs-rest classification
`Datetime`	Collection timestamp
`Week`	Collection week (1–13)
`Site`	Clinical site (SiteA or CiteB)

`data/` - Per-Patient JSON Files

Each patient is stored as a separate JSON file in a subdirectory named after their ICD-10 diagnosis code. The file name format is patient_{Patient_id}.json. Example path: data/Z00/patient_1.json.

Each patient JSON file has the following structure:

{
    "patient_id": 1,
    "patient_diag_class": 0,
    "startDateTime": "2025-09-01T08:05:47.676148Z",
    "startTimeGases": 20,
    "endTimeGases": 450,
    "durationSec": 895,
    "sensors": [
        {
            "id": "enose",
            "sampleRate": 0.4,
            "channels": [
                {"id": "R1", "samples": [float, ...]},
                {"id": "R2", "samples": [float, ...]},
                ...
                {"id": "R17", "samples": [float, ...]},
                {"id": "humidity", "samples": [float, ...]},
                {"id": "temperature", "samples": [float, ...]}
            ]
        },
        {
            "id": "ze03",
            "sampleRate": 0.4,
            "channels": [{"id": "0", "samples": [float, ...]}]
        },
        {

            "sampleRate": 0.4,
            "channels": [{"id": "0", "samples": [float, ...]}]
        },
        {

            "sampleRate": 0.4,
            "channels": [{"id": "0", "samples": [float, ...]}]
        },

                {"id": "humidity", "samples": [float, ...]}
            ]
        }
    ]
}

`data/manifest.json`

Index file mapping patient IDs to their JSON file paths:

{
    "total_patients": 1234,
    "files": [
        {"patient_id": 1, "diagnosis": "Z00", "file": "Z00/patient_1.json"},
        {"patient_id": 2, "diagnosis": "Z00", "file": "Z00/patient_2.json"},
        ...
    ]
}

`scripts/`

Utility scripts for loading and processing the dataset.

eNose Channels (17 channels)

The eNose sensor array consists of 17 channels printed on a single chip:

Channel ID	Material
R1–R17	ZnO and metal-doped ZnO (In-ZnO, Ag-ZnO, Ce-ZnO, Ni-ZnO)

Auxiliary Sensors

Sensor ID	Measurements
ze03	Ozone (O₃)
mhz14	Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
ze08	Carbon monoxide (CO)
bme280	Pressure, temperature, humidity

Quick Start

import json
import pandas as pd

# 1. Load metadata
metadata = pd.read_csv('../metadata.csv')

# 2. Load patient data via manifest
with open('../data/manifest.json', 'r') as f:
    manifest = json.load(f)

# 3. Load a specific patient
patient_id, icd = '1', 'Z00'
entry = next(e for e in manifest['files'] if e['patient_id'] == patient_id)
with open(f"../data/{icd}/{entry['file']}", 'r') as f:
    patient_data = json.load(f)

# 4. Extract eNose signals
for sensor in patient_data['sensors']:
    if sensor['id'] == 'enose':
        for channel in sensor['channels']:
            print(f"{channel['id']}: {len(channel['samples'])} samples")

Temporal Train/Test Splits

The dataset includes explicit temporal splits to enable drift-aware evaluation. For each disease, test weeks were selected to be temporally separated from training weeks, simulating real-world deployment conditions.

Ethics

The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee at Anonymized Clinical Institute (SiteA) and Anonymized Research Institute (SiteB).
All participants provided written informed consent.
