Questions about simulation and synthetic data tools
How many open-source simulation and synthetic data tools are listed?
13, counting tools with this as their main or secondary category. By signal: PPG 5, ECG 9, IMU 2, EEG 1, EDA 1 and Respiration 2, multi-signal 1.
Which programming languages do these simulation and synthetic data tools use?
Python (7) and MATLAB (5); 2 do not state a language. A tool that names more than one language is counted under each.
Can I use these simulation and synthetic data tools in a commercial product?
It depends on each licence. Of the 13 tools, 13 list commercial use as yes, 0 as no and 0 do not state it. Each tool page shows the licence exactly as the project publishes it; read the licence in the project repository before you build on it.
Listings, summaries, licences and commercial-use fields are shown as recorded for each project, as of Oct 21, 2026. Maintenance is computed from the date of the last commit. Check the licence in each project’s repository before you use it.
