Abstract:
Medical data can be represented in various forms. The most common is visualization, but recent work started to also add sonic representation - sonification. In this study we start with a theoretical background, then focus on medical applications. The discussion synthesizes the authors view about the present state of the domain and tries to foresee future potential developments in medicine. In conclusion we present a set of original recommendations for developing new applications with potential use in medicine and healthcare.
