What is the state-of-the-art research studies on ECG sonification?
This systematic review maps the current state of research on ECG sonification, highlighting its applications in signal transformation, wireless transmission, and synchronization with auscultation.
ECG sonification has sparse evidence; leaves open its clinical role and extends the research agenda for auditory cardiac monitoring.
This study aims to answer the main question: “What is the state-of-the-art research studies on ECG sonification?”, presenting a systematic literature review (SLR) in 2 databases (Scopus and Pubmed) on English papers (2007-2019). SLR identified 173 articles. Further analytical screening of titles and abstracts selected 22 articles involved into a qualitative synthesis: 5 papers on the transformation of ECG signals into sound; 7 papers on the wireless transmission of auscultatory streams for heart diagnosis; 13 papers on the synchronization between ECG and cardiac auscultation.
