MA readability and usability studies for medicines

I carry out readability and usability studies for MA files, to assess how well information is understood and how the medicine, its packaging or its administration device is handled.

Each study is designed in line with Directive 2001/83/EC, the recommendations of the European Medicines Agency, and ANSM expectations.

The goal: precisely identify what is understood, what causes difficulty, and the adjustments needed before filing or updating the file.

Let's discuss your MA study

Readability and usability studies compliant with EMA / ANSM expectations.

WHO IT'S FOR

This is for you if…

You're preparing an MA file

A package leaflet readability study, or documentation of a study compliant with EMA / ANSM expectations.

You want to assess comprehension

Understanding of information intended for patients or users, before filing or updating.

You need to test usability

Packaging, administration device, associated materials, or adapting an existing study.

The study helps objectively identify comprehension or handling difficulties and document the improvements proposed.

WHAT I BRING

Assess comprehension and handling of the medicine

Readability and usability studies assess whether users correctly understand the essential information and manage to handle the medicine or its packaging under representative conditions.

I support the preparation, conduct and analysis of these studies: protocol, interview guide, running the user tests, analysis of difficulties encountered, and writing the report.

The approach aims for usable results: what is understood, what isn't, and what can be improved.
