Speaker: Laura Bix, Associate Professor, Michigan State U School of Packaging
For years, package design has been the benefactor of research that has measured the relationship between product and packaging. Today's healthcare packaging designers work in an increasingly competitive healthcare environment and must try to consider how choices will impact the likelihood of errors and noncompliance, facilitate aseptic presentation, maintain sterility and enhance security throughout distribution to final delivery. A new model from Michigan State University combines usability theory and human processor theory and presents the complex nuances that occur at the important interface between people and packaging. This new model will prove useful to designers and others involved in packaging evaluation.
