“…A demonstration of RFID application in Tokyo Medical and Dental University [ 24 ] has successfully used both active and passive RFID tags to track the clinical intervention and blood tests of the patients together with the wireless communication system. RFID tags have also been implemented for the laboratory specimen management to replace the barcode system [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. For example, the RFID systems in [ 14 , 15 ] were proposed to manage and authenticate blood samples in hospital clinical laboratories.…”

“…In addition, RFID and IoT are vital to boost the hospital’s digital transformation to improve the efficiency and safety through many applications, such as tracking patients inside the hospital, drug management, and medical assets in hospitals. Despite the rising RFID and IoT applications in medicine, there is a limited medical specimen management and logistic domain approach for hospitals [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. In fact, medical specimen tube management is one of the critical activities in hospitals with extreme accuracy and reliability in the labeling, delivery, and recording processes.…”

In this study, we propose a specimen tube prototype and smart specimen transport box using radio frequency identification (RFID) and narrow band–Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology to use in the Department of Laboratory Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Our proposed method replaces the existing system, based on barcode technology, with shortage usage and low reliability. In addition, tube-tagged barcode has not eliminated the lost or incorrect delivery issues in many laboratories. In this solution, the passive RFID tag is attached to the surface of the specimen tube and stores information such as patient records, required tests, and receiver laboratory location. This information can be written and read multiple times using an RFID device. While delivering the specimen tubes via our proposed smart specimen transport box from one clinical laboratory to another, the NB-IoT attached to the box monitors the temperature and humidity values inside the box and tracks the box’s GPS location to check whether the box arrives at the destination. The environmental condition inside the specimen transport box is sent to the cloud and can be monitored by doctors. The experimental results have proven the innovation of our solution and opened a new dimension for integrating RFID and IoT technologies into the specimen logistic system in the hospital.

“…One of the tools that can help with achieving this goal is to use information and communication technologies in the Environmental Management System (EMS) [1][2][3]. It is important for business to extend their portfolios beyond services which had already been common for competing business areas (collection and recycling of goods) [3][4][5].…”

A Model of the Environmental Burden of RFID Technology in the Slovak Republic

2021

The paper focuses on the environmental burden created by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in the Slovak Republic (SR). In order to determine the burden there, a model example was created to calculate electronic waste produced by households in the SR by placing RFID tags into municipal waste. The paper presents a legislative regulatory approach towards the environmental impacts from using RFID tags in the SR, as well as an analysis of the environmental burden of using RFID tags throughout the world. The core of the paper is focused on the research conducted in order to calculate the environmental burden of a model household in the SR, where the number of used RFID tags per year was observed; then, the volume of e-waste produced by households of the Slovak Republic per year was determined. In the conclusion, we provide the results of the research presented and discuss including our own proposal for solving the problems connected with the environmental burden of RFID technology.
