A systematic review of eye-tracking technology in electrocardiogram interpretation research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Eye-tracking technology provides an objective method for analyzing visual behavior during diagnostic tasks such as electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation. As a high-stakes and visually complex clinical skill, ECG interpretation benefits from technologies that differentiate experts from novices via gaze patterns. We systematically reviewed eye-tracking in ECG research to examine links between gaze metrics and diagnostic performance and to appraise educational applications.

Methods

Following PRISMA (PROSPERO CRD420251052940), we searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC, IEEE Xplore, and PubPsych databases to September 2025. Eligible studies used eye-tracking during ECG interpretation and reported visual behavior or diagnostic outcomes. Two independent r
