“…The system described has applications into other home health care settings; a wide variety of medical data requiring monitoring and event management could be included in the EMS. Many such data capture applications are in development currently (Jones et al , 2007; Freudenthal and Herrera, 2007; Steinberg and Steinberg, 2009), and efforts are being made to integrate this data capture technology into responsive networks (Masters and Michael, 2007; Lopez et al , 2009). Indeed, the technology presented represents an application of the concept of making the end consumer an active participant in the supply chain; truly a “co‐creator” in the value proposition.…”

“…The reader emits radio waves in multiple directions, and the tag receives those waves, and responds by emitting a signal back to the reader confirming that the tag received the signal. There are two types of tags, and four different types of frequencies (Lopez et al , 2009; Jones et al , 2007; Shepard, 2005; and others). Passive tags are tags that contain no independent source of power.…”

“…The monitor reads the blood sugar and transmits the information to a handheld reader that will tell the person whether or not to take a dose of insulin. An insulin pump in the monitor will be able to measure out the correct dosage of insulin and pass it to the body through the catheter, thus eliminating the need for an insulin shot (Jones et al , 2007; Freudenthal and Herrera, 2007).…”

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to investigate the feasibility of using radio frequency identification (RFID) total asset visibility technologies for post‐consumer monitoring and ordering of medical supplies.Design/methodology/approachA laboratory experiment in a consumer context was designed. This involved the application of RFID tag technology for glucose monitoring and supply management.FindingsIt was found that embedded RFID monitoring of blood glucose levels can be used to effectively monitor and help manage patient care. An integrated system of monitoring and management with an effective medical supply chain information system is presented.Research limitations/implicationsThe laboratory study provides initial validation of the merits of the approach. Extensive human field‐testing would still be required prior to any strong inference about the viability of the technology in this application.Practical implicationsThe findings provide a directly relevant system design template for home managed patient care settings where self‐administered medication protocols are required. The findings may also be extended into consumable consumer products like food and beverages where the management of home‐based supplies are a critical component of supply chain effectiveness and consumer satisfaction.Originality/valueThe results extend the use of RFID as a total asset visibility tool for enterprise resource planning in a supply chain. Post‐consumer consumption monitoring, tracking, and automated re‐ordering have not been extensively addressed in the literature.
