Description

This should include all commonly used public datasets (MIMIC-III, MIMIC-IV*, eICU, AUMCdb) for now. Dataset metadata should also be better tracked, and READMEs updated.

* MIMIC-IV is already added, but we need to better curate its metadata.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing dataset structure and metadata format in the repository. Add new datasets (MIMIC III, eICU, AUMCdb) following the same pattern. Update READMEs and ensure metadata is properly tracked.
