“…With changes in weight and RFID tag events, it determines those medicine bottles and the amount of the medicine to be taken. Lin et al [12] present a ubiquitous monitoring system integrated with biosensors and RFID tags by implementing it as a prototype system that can detect emergencies or accidents such as stroke, falls, fainting, and heart attacks. They consider a wearable sensor module containing active RFID tags and sensing, signal-processing, and controller units.…”

“…Outdoor readers communicate with the base station by using IEEE 802.11 b (WLAN). Although Lin et al [12] propose an approach for combining sensors and RFID technologies and forming a ubiquitous monitoring environment for caregivers in serving elderly patients nursing homes, several issues remain unclear, including how the RFID tags can be integrated with 802.11b (WLAN), how elderly falls can be detected, and what the software and hardware architecture is, among others.…”

Healthcare and medical advances have prolonged human life and thus have led to increasing numbers of elderly individuals. To make their lives more convenient, several ubiquitous technologies have been considered, including the RFID system, which can play a vital role in elderly care by caregivers as well as by elderly individuals themselves. Caregivers can take advantage of the RFID system by recording and tracking elderly individuals' belongings and assisting these individuals in healthcare provision by accessing their relevant information, among others. Similarly, the RFID system can help manage elderly individuals' daily lives by reminding them of their daily schedules (e.g., reminding them to take medicine on time) and tracking their personal belongings, among others. In addition, the RFID system can mitigate human errors such as medical mistakes, delays in service provision, and hassles in tracking and identifying patients and objects. This study provides a survey of solutions proposed in the literature and discusses the potential benefits of integrating the RFID system with sensors and applying the integrated system. In addition, the study addresses the opportunities, technological challenges, and research directions for the integrated RFID system in the context of smart solutions in elderly care facilities.

“…The system is designed as a wireless powered active RFID Tag [38,39] where the inductively coupled link, generated by the implantable and the external antenna, is able to supply enough energy to power the entire system and to provide wireless bidirectional communication through the human skin. Thus it can transmit the information obtained by the nanobiosensor and receive data from the external reader who in turn can configure the implanted electronics and read the data acquired.…”

It is widely recognized that the welfare of the most advanced economies is at risk, and that the only way to tackle this situation is by controlling the knowledge economies and dealing with. To achieve this ambitious goal, we need to improve the performance of each dimension in the "knowledge triangle": education, research and innovation. Indeed, recent findings point to the importance of strategies of adding-value and marketing during R+D processes so as to bridge the gap between the laboratory and the market and so ensure the successful commercialization of new technology-based products. Moreover, in a global economy in which conventional manufacturing is dominated by developing economies, the future of industry in the most advanced economies must rely on its ability to innovate in those high-tech activities that can offer a differential added-value, rather than on improving existing technologies and products. It seems quite clear, therefore, that the combination of health (medicine) and nanotechnology in a new biomedical device is very capable of meeting these requisites.This work propose a generic CMOS Front-End Self-Powered In-Vivo Implantable Biomedical Device, based on a threeelectrode amperometric biosensor approach, capable of detecting threshold values for targeted concentrations of pathogens, ions, oxygen concentration, etc.Given the speed with which diabetes can spread, as diabetes is the fastest growing disease in the world, the nano-enabled implantable device for in-vivo biomedical analysis needs to be introduced into the global diabetes care devices market. In the case of glucose monitoring, the detection of a threshold decrease in the glucose level it is mandatory to avoid critic situations like the hypoglycemia. Although the case study reported in this paper is complex because it involves multiple organizations and sources of data, it contributes to extend experience to the best practices and models on nanotechnology applications and commercialization.Nanotechnology provides breakthroughs that support endless sources of innovation and creativity at the intersection between medicine, biotechnology, engineering, the physical sciences and information technology, and the discipline is opening up new directions in R+D, knowledge management and technology transfer. A number of nanotech products are VLSI Circuits and Systems V, edited by Teresa Riesgo, Eduardo de la Torre-Arnanz,

RFID is applied to goods management, vehicle management, and medical equipments. The appliances of smart home are very popular today. To apply ICT (Information Communication Technology) to life is a popular study. People sometimes forget to take something away. He may take his laptop away, but forgets the battery or his mouse. Therefore, we proposed the HEMS (Household Effects Management System) which is used to remind family members to take their effects. Because we believe that the size of RFID tags will be smaller enough to be embedded on the household effects, we designed and implemented the HEMS based on RFID and OSGi. OSGi is an open platform based on JVM which supports the resource sharing of applications. We developed the RFID middleware to share the information of RFID tags with other applications.
