A Standalone RFID and NFC Based Healthcare

Abstract

NFC is a standards-based, short-range wireless connectivity technology that enables simple and safe two-way interactions between electronic devices. The concept is based on combination of smartcard and contactless interconnection technologies; NFC is compatible with todays field proven RFIDtechnology. If this technology is used for identification of patient in hospital, it will be very useful. Patients have different illness. When doctors operate patients or exanimate patients, if the doctor confuses the disease of patient, a fatal medical circumstance may occur. If RFID and NFC technology is used for this case, we can easily protect patients from fatal medical mistakes. It has the potential to make almost all wireless technologies and also the applications on these technologies easy enough so that everyone, even the non-technical can use them. Technological development and modern medicine practices are amongst the outstanding factors triggering this shift. This trend is resulting in a greater demand for health care-related services and greater competition among health care providers. Achieving a high operational efficiency in the health care sector is an essential goal for organizational performance evaluation. Efficiency uses to be considered as the primary indicator of hospital performance. In order to bring down the cost and improve efficiency, intelligent systems can play a significant role in providing intelligently processed and personalized information about patients to doctors, their health care staff (i.e. nurses) and health care administrators
