“…This research also responds to the call for more industry-based studies, which are highly under-represented in the literature. 33,80 A common habit is to blame the industry and complain about the lack of regulations. In relation to medication packaging research, a recurrent practice is to assess the final packaging design itself to identify recurrent problems.…”

Medication packaging is essential to provide patients with guidance and correct use of their medicines for effective treatment. This research aims to increase knowledge about the medication packaging innovation process and its uptake towards patient‐centered packaging design. The study applied a qualitative research approach based on data from 25 in‐depth interviews with stakeholders involved in medication packaging design. The empirical data analysis revealed four themes that can improve and advance user‐centered packaging design: medication packaging innovation process, medication packaging functions and features, medication packaging design constraints, and patient‐centered medication packaging design. The findings suggest that medication packaging design is strongly affected by an emphasis on protective and safety packaging functions rather than on patients' needs. Packaging innovation usually is constrained by rigid incremental development processes, where compliance with regulations, extensive documentation, avoidance of manufacturing complexity, and considerations on cost prevail. These findings are discussed in relation to the three most evident trade‐offs for patient‐centered design: protection versus openability, utility versus cost, and complexity of manufacturability versus complexity of use. This research contributes with valuable input and additional evidence about the necessary shift to a user‐centered approach in a field that has not been design driven. This input complements previous research and provides an opportunity for industry decision makers and policy makers to lead patient‐centered packaging design that can benefit patients and relieve overloaded health care systems.

“…Due to ICT, packaging with integrated RFID tags can improve real-time location tracking and, in turn, ease logistics operations, whereas packaging with smart temperature, pressure, or shock sensors can register accidents during distribution and handling allowing users to re-evaluate the most efficient means of transportation and the best conditions for it [8]. The second stage takes place at the point of purchase, where packaging reaches the retailer and thereby it has to fulfill a set of new communication activities to draw attention, convince or persuade consumers to purchase the product [2]. At this stage, for instance, light emitting devices or capacitive touch sensors added to the package's exterior design provide distinctive characters as flashy and multisensory effects that may add value to the product and trigger momentary and instantaneous desire to purchase it due to peculiar visual appearance [17] [18].…”

“…Product packaging also became one of such digital interfaces. Out of the many roles packaging has to perform, the user interaction is likely to have a profound effect on packaging innovation [2]. Packaging, also referred as 'communication surface', 'an extended user interface', 'communication medium', 'contact point', or 'silent salesman' encounters consumers daily through various visual and tactile interplay [3].…”

Smart Interactive Packaging as a Cyber-Physical Agent in the Interaction Design Theory: A Novel User Interface

The emerging infrastructure of cyber-physical systems consisting of everyday items, as product's packaging, and advanced digital communication devices opens a new digital dimension for interaction and user experience. Consequently, the concept of human-packaging interaction goes beyond the pragmatic aspects of physical packaging attributes, and, in turn, embraces the potentials of ICT systems. Due to the new forms of human-packaging interactive systems, designers have to address the relevancy of the interaction design and the complexity in the relationship between consumer behavior and interactive system design, i.e. digitally-enhanced packaging. Therefore this research aims to describe the digitallyenhanced packaging as a digital interactive system in regards to the theories of human-computer interaction, interaction design, and user-centered design. In this paper, the critical elements of the interactive packaging design are described. This study concludes that for the interactive systems to be effective and used, designers have to find ways to a reward-based interaction that would persuade users to take actions.

User packaging interaction (UPI) has evolved in packaging research because of its importance to users, manufacturers, and designers. A great deal of work addressing problems and suggesting potential improvements has been directed toward UPI. However, this work is not easily accessible to researchers as it lacks a cohesive structure. This paper serves as a platform for UPI researchers by presenting previous work UPI in an organized structure based on stages of interaction. Over 100 articles were reviewed to identify the scope of research in this area and then categorized according to stages of interaction. During the review of more articles, these stages of interaction were modified to ensure that they reflected all the reviewed articles. The review process resulted in the enumeration of the following stages: at point of purchase, checking out, handling, opening, and disposal. The related articles in each category are presented and discussed, and potential future work is presented. The articles were further categorized according to the age and gender of users under test, and packaging and product types considered. The review process has revealed different issues in the current research structure of UPI including the comprehensibility of the conducted research and the distribution of the reviewed articles. On the basis of this review, a model is proposed for improving the UPI by quantitatively evaluating the package design and affordances provided at each interaction stage.
