“…Bluetooth typically requires carrier medias, such as mobile phones or other powered devices, which are often not allowed in hospitals. Although a considerable amount of work has been done to develop NFC (Near Field Communications) for the use in healthcare, at this point in time the technology cannot be regarded as ripe, and more work needs to be added in order to support specific applications (Benyó et al, 2007a,b;Karduri et al, 2006;Leong et al, 2006;Ortiz, 2006;Strömmer et al, 2006). As an alternative, RFID is the intelligent replacement, and is a good solution for overcoming patient identification problems (Murphy and Kay, 2004) in healthcare environment.…”

Active and passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology are available and licensed for the use in hospitals, and can be used to establish highly reliable pervasive environments within healthcare facilities. They should not be understood as competing technologies and complement each other when intelligently integrated in compact frameworks. This paper describes the state-of-the-art of RFID technology and the current use in the healthcare industry, and points out recent developments and future options.Biographical notes: Christoph Thuemmler is a Consultant Physician with the Scottish NHS who has worked in healthcare systems in Germany, the USA and the UK. He is also a Visiting Reader at the Centre for Distributed Computing within Edinburgh Napier University. Apart from clinical work in general internal medicine, acute and geriatric medicine he has a research interest in patient flow dynamics, real time computing, radio frequency identification and smart system integration.William J Buchanan leads the Centre for Distributed Computing within Edinburgh Napier University. He has extensive research experience in distributed systems, mobile networks, pervasive healthcare, simulation tools, digital forensics and security, and has published over 25 academic books. He has also won several awards for his work with knowledge transfer, and works within several application domains, including healthcare and policing.Amir Hesam Fekri is a research associate with the Centre for Distributed Computing and Security, Napier University.

“…As shown in Fig.11, P-FCB also has high potential in the channel of nearfield communication for wearable computer. Since nearfield communication is suitable for communication in the wearable computer field due to its low power consumption characteristic [5,6,8], P-FCB system can be widely used in that area. Although the flexibility of P-FCB becomes a problem in this application since the inductance can be changed during communication, the compensation technique is proposed so that it makes the communication more reliable [6].…”

A new flexible electronics technology, named P-FCB (Planar Fashionable Circuit Board), is introduced. P-FCB is a circuit board technology implemented on the plain fabric patch for wearable electronics applications. In this paper, the manufacturing of P-FCB, and its electrical characteristics such as sheet resistance, maximum current density, and frequency characteristics are reported. The fabrication methods and their electrical characteristics of passive devices such as resistor, capacitor, and inductor in P-FCB are discussed. In addition, how to integrate silicon chip directly to the fabric for the flexible electronics system are described. Finally, examples of P-FCB applications will be presented.

“…The value of these is significant, especially in longterm diagnostic analysis and in chronic disease management. From the usability point of view, wireless communication links are preferable to cables because they facilitate measurements and management of diagnostic analysis at real-life settings (Strommer et al, 2006).…”

This paper presents our recent plan to provide support for a portable diagnostic health care platform (namely POCEMON) based on Lab-On-Chip (LOC) concept. The idea is based on our achievements on creating a host environment that combines mobile phones/PDAs with the Near Field Communication (NFC) wireless technology to further support mobile diagnostic health care applications. NFC enabled mobile phone based host environment works as a reference platform regardless of the phone type and the nature of the services required. In connection to this, we will describe further insights on how this cutting edge technology may be leveraged in the health care sector providing efficient point-of-care monitoring and diagnosis.
