Acoustic Sonification maps a dataset onto the shape of 3D acoustic object. This concept has been demonstrated in the form of the Hypertension singing bowl shaped by a year of blood pressure
readings. The sounds produced by this prototype raise the question of whether useful information about the dataset can be heard by interacting with the bowl? This paper explores the feasibility of Acoustic Sonification through a case study on the diagnosis of blood pressure in five categories of risk.
