Research Design and Methods
• Collected 16 poster handouts from recent ISMPP annual conferences
• Entered them into machine learning algorithms
– Simulates eye-tracking session (initial 7.5 seconds) with 91% accuracy
Results were then collated for each poster using 5 interrelated attention analysis reports

14TH ANNUAL MEETING OF ISMPP 19
So What Can We Do?
• Use short headlines
• Use call-out boxes with knock-out type to summarize key ideas
• Graphs are better than tables for summarizing key data quickly
• Use negative space to improve visual appeal (i.e. don’t crowd your poster)
• Use one accent color with high contrast to draw attention when needed
• Ask authors what they want viewers to see
• Be open to change and updating your processes
