The importance of accessible patient-centric product information in helping patients understand and adhere to their treatment is becoming even greater. The overarching role of the patient in labeling, covering aspects such as health literacy, usability requirements, and patient consultations have been discussed increasingly. In this session, we will discuss the initiatives for patient-centric product information such as the PMDA’s perspective, usability tests and the open publishing concept linking patient lay summaries with labels. There will also be discussions on strategies for involving patient insights into label development.

Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Recognize the recent patient centric labeling initiatives
  • Describe the concepts of health literacy and the role of usability requirements
  • Discuss the global approaches to patient labeling within a company
