Modern computerised medical devices emit large numbers of tone-based alerts and alarms. Notifications that comprise auditory icons or natural human speech substantially increase the psychological salience of alerts and alarms and may allow a larger set of notifications to be used, as they do not require memorisation of arbitrary sounds.
现代计算机化的医疗设备会发出大量基于音调的警报和警告。包含听觉图标的通知或自然人类语音会大大增加警报和警告的心理显著性,并且可能允许使用更大的通知集,因为它们不需要记忆任意声音。
