“…This is as a result of some unique features it has, such as very low power requirements as well as possibility of being used as passive and even active sensors. In recent years, RFID has found increased use on the human body [1,2] often as sensors [3], in healthcare applications [4] or for tracking purposes [5]. This close interaction between the tag and the human body has been reported in [6].…”

This paper examines the impact of daily activities on the performance of a body‐mounted radio frequency identification (RFID) tag inkjet printed onto tattoo transfer paper. This paper aims to assess how robust RFID tags of this nature are when mounted on the skin while the user undergoes various daily activities. The factors considered for these robustness tests are the effect of sweat and wear and tear on these tags during everyday use and also how it stands up to being exposed to water and soap during showering. Performance assessment was carried out using parameters such as point‐to‐point surface DC resistance as well as read range. Results show marginal effects on the tag performance and the tag continued to function during a normal day's activities, which lasted for 8 h, and rigorous activities like exercising but stopped functioning when there was severe damage to tag.

“…Inkjet printing is becoming more attractive for the fabrication of electronic and electromagnetic devices including Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags [ 1 ] and [ 2 ], sensors [ 3 , 4 ], smart devices [ 5 ], for healthcare applications [ 6 , 7 ], as well as antennas for the use in fifth‐generation technologies [ 8 , 9 ]. This traction being gained by inkjet printing is due to some of its inherent benefits which include ease of fabrication, flexibility, and ability to conform with surfaces (substrates) [ 10 ].…”

The aim of this work is to assess the performance of various inkjet printing techniques. These techniques are aimed at optimizing the volume of conductive ink used in the fabrication of inkjet printed Radio Frequency Identification tags. It is also possible that they can be used in fabricating other electronic and electromagnetic devices and structures. Three ink optimization approaches were examined viz. gridded (meshed) designs, conductive area trimming and selective ink deposition. The volume of conductive ink utilized in tag fabrication and the measured on‐body (forearm) read range of the tag were used to develop a figure of merit which determined the best printing approach. Although the longest read range was obtained from the tag with 48% conductive area trimming (Trim 1), the best figure of merit, that is, the tag with the best balance between measured read range and utilized conductive ink, was obtained from the tag that had its surface area trimmed by 65% (Trim 2). It is however suggested that optimum use of conductive ink would be achieved with a combination of 65% surface area trimming and selective ink deposition technique.

“…Figure 10.3 Epidermal tag measured on volunteer forearms showing that 50 cm minimum read range can be achieved for the three volunteers, thin to muscular body types (Table10.2), with a slight adjustment in tag backing thickness as to decouple the tag from skin. Measured data represents triplicate repeats (source data from[14])…”
