The Application of RFID in the Field of Medical Circulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Medicine, as a special product, is closely related with people's lives and health. Therefore, to ensure the quality and safety of the drug from the point of production to the point of final consumers is of great importance, especially the drugs which require cold storage and refrigerated transport. The quality stability of those drugs is greatly influenced by the fluctuations in temperature, so that a predetermined low temperature environment (usually 10 °C) in the supply chain is needed for the convenience of circulation and usage, in order to ensure quality and safety, to reduce loss and to prevent pollution. The transportation link, which is the most difficult one to control during the circulation of medicine, has long been the dead zone of logistics tracking [. Therefore, the temperature monitoring of drugs has gained more attention. The emergence of RFID technology has become a necessary impetus to solve this problem. RFID technology, which can store large amounts of drug information , is also a kind of data acquisition technology with the ability to update constantly and realize the real-time tracking of drugs.
