1. A method for generating an audible medical message, the method comprising:
- receiving semantic rating scale data corresponding to a plurality of sounds and medical message descriptions;
performing semantic mapping using the received semantic rating scale data;
determining profiles for audible medical messages based on the semantic mapping; and
generating audible medical messages based on the determined profiles.

Abstract
Methods and systems for providing auditory messages for medical devices are provided. One method includes receiving semantic rating scale data corresponding to a plurality of sounds and medical message descriptions and performing semantic mapping using the received semantic rating scale data. The method also includes determining profiles for audible medical messages based on the semantic mapping and generating audible medical messages based on the determined profiles.
