Anyone who’s tried to assemble an Ikea nightstand knows instruction leaflets can be confusing, and when it comes to drugs, poorly understood instructions can be a matter of life and death. A recent Business Weekly article discussed a breakthrough technology called AudioPack that’s designed to help patients navigate medical device instructions. The packaging invention, developed by Cambridge Consultants, augments traditional instructions with audio messages activated by touch-sensitive paper packaging.

The packaging can also cut clinical costs by reducing the time doctors and nurses spend instructing patients on the use of new medications. Click here for a brief video demonstration.
