How to develop digital instructions: Identifying needs and potential solutions

We will present original research that compares two formats (1. a text-and-image based app and 2. a video) for presenting a medication’s Instructions for Use (IFU) online. We will use the results of this work to provide recommendations for how to optimize digital IFUs to convey complex instructions safely and effectively.

Beyond Packaging: Confronting the challenges of user preconceptions regarding instructions

This presentation is about current challenges that we face in human factors testing, namely, that individuals are trained to seek out information from their doctor or pharmacist when prescribed a new medication. This causes challenges from both a testing and therapeutic perspective as these are avenues that are outside the manufacturer's control. We intend to highlight some of the challenges typically observed and begin a dialogue in how we can better control these factors so that we better implement human factors validation techniques and ultimately improve patient therapies.
