Potential of Aluminum Drug Packages with Press-Through Packaging Considering Usability for a Wide Range of Users
The present results indicated the superiority of the developed pillow packaging, which enables pharmacists to save time in the dispensing process. In addition, product ③ was evaluated highly by patients, especially those with disabilities, for its ease of use not only in terms of opening, but also storage. Sensory testing by actual users applying ergonomic methods enabled a multifaceted evaluation of the products and provided insights into the actual status of pharmacists' dispensing work (product issues) and patients' daily medication use.
