About

Diane Verches is a researcher focused on the intersection of healthcare technology and human factors, particularly within community pharmacy settings. Her work primarily explores the usability, efficacy, and implementation of digital tools and robotic systems to improve medication management and workflow efficiency. A key contribution is her investigation of a medication entering software system for a healthcare robot, where she compared two software versions (RoboGen and RoboGen2) for system usability, speed, and accuracy of medication entry. This study, cited 11 times, also evaluated community pharmacists’ perceptions of the system, providing critical insights into real-world adoption challenges. In a related exploratory study, also with 11 citations, Verches examined community pharmacists’ perceptions of implementing technologies in the workplace, identifying barriers and facilitators to technology adoption. Her research is notable for bridging the gap between technical system design and end-user experience, offering practical recommendations for developing user-centered healthcare technologies. Verches’ work is essential reading for researchers and students in health informatics, human-computer interaction, and pharmacy practice, as it highlights the importance of usability and stakeholder input in successful technology integration.
