Improving Medication Information Presentation Through Interactive Visualization in Mobile Apps: Human Factors Design.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the detailed patient package inserts (PPIs) with prescription drugs that communicate crucial information about safety, there is a critical gap between patient understanding and the knowledge presented. As a result, patients may suffer from adverse events. We propose using human factors design methodologies such as hierarchical task analysis (HTA) and interactive visualization to bridge this gap. We hypothesize that an innovative mobile app employing human factors design with an interactive visualization can deliver PPI information aligned with patients' information processing heuristics. Such an app may help patients gain an improved overall knowledge of medications.

Objective

The objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of designing an inter
