Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a useful technology that has myriad applications in retail, manufacturing, and healthcare settings. RFID can scan devices in their proximity and report the data to information systems. RFID in healthcare settings presents potential security and privacy concerns to the people and processes being tracked by the devices -- particularly healthcare workers including...
Advances in information and communication technologies have led to the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT). In the healthcare environment, the use of IoT technologies brings convenience to physicians and patients as they can be applied to various medical areas (such as constant real-time monitoring, patient information management, medical emergency management, blood information management, and health...
RFID and WSN technologies are widely used in today's pervasive computing. In Wireless Sensor Networks, sensor nodes sense the physical environment and send the sensed data to the sink by multi-hops. WSN are used in many applications such as military and environment monitoring. In Radio Frequency Identification, a unique ID is assigned to a RFID tag which is associated with a real world object. RFID...
In the midterm future Near Field Communications (NFC) is expected to spread up within the healthcare sector. This article reviews the use of NFC in the healthcare sector. Application areas, use cases, potential benefits and barriers, will be presented. The present study provides guidance for researchers in adopting and deploying NFC in medical sector. The main healthcare and security applications...
In recent years, many researches have introduced RFID-based solutions to enhance patient medication safety and avoid human errors during e-Health process. Although such RFID-based procedures are more efficient than traditional e-Health process, patient¡¦s information may be explored in the data transmission period and this will cause inappropriate medication use or medi-cal errors. In this paper,...
In recent years, smart card based authentication has been massively adopted in the electronic health care and medical treatment services in which the user and administrator can agree a robust session key based on human-memorable passwords with the hospital server. In this paper, we investigate the robustness of an eHealth care system with smart card based authentication mechanisms. This research is...
With the modern development of intelligent information society, automatic identification technology will be a research priority. This article focuses on one field of automatic identification technology — two-dimensional code technology. By studying the application of two-dimensional codes, the application of certain areas could be promoted, so as to improve the development of automatic identification...
Acceptance of the use of Radio Frequency Identification is increasing day by day. The mass-market attention towards RFID can only by gathered if this technology can provide useful features to users for daily life without compromising the security concerns. Although the research is on its way to give many useful features like medical support for doctors using RFID Components, RFID-Enabled Electronic...
Although substantial progress was made in improving the sharing of patient medical information among healthcare providers, professionals still need to address the issue of efficient electronic medical records. Thus, real-time information presents a persistent challenge to the emergency response community. In emergency situations, particularly with unconscious, incoherent and unaccompanied patients,...
In this paper we discuss and address multifold security challenges involved in the implementation of remote healthcare in smart homes. These security challenges are derived from real-world, industrially relevant scenarios. Validated security techniques and mechanisms providing certain security properties can be captured and implemented in security patterns, which can be applied in order to satisfy...
The RFID and sensor network based ubiquitous computing has great potential in medical and healthcare services. Most of medical accidents around patients are depended on misidentification of patient or medical articles. The accidents can be reduced, if information about the patient is managed automatically. In this aspect, the mobile device with RFID reader is useful device as a medical assistant....
