RFID Journal Virtual Event

In the health-care field, hospitals and other medical facilities are employing RFID and IoT technologies to improve patient safety, increase asset utilization with real-time tracking, boost revenue with automated billing and reduce the incidence of medical errors using track-and-match applications. As of fall 2020, more than 60 million coronavirus cases have been reported worldwide. During this virtual event, learn how RFID and the Internet of Things are identifying and tracking COVID-19 outbreaks, enabling social distancing in the health-care environment, as well as the monitoring of vaccine distribution and improvements in efficiency.

Welcome and Introduction
Speaker: Debbie Hughes, Senior Editorial Director, Events, RFID Journal

Improving Patient Safety With Wearable Sensors  The population of the United States is aging.  Based on the latest predictions by the Administration of Aging (AoA), by 2020 there will be approximately 55 million people in the US aged 65 or older, which is almost double its value in 1990.  A recent study by CDC found out that among older adults, falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries. As mobile and personal health devices gain in popularity, increasing amounts of data is collected via their embedded sensors such as heart rate monitors and accelerometers.  In this presentation, hear how artificial intelligence and machine learning can be used to detect falls by analyzing real data obtained from digital wireless wristbands used in healthcare facilities. In addition to detecting falls, the same information can be used to recognize different forms of human motion to ultimately create a better predictor of fall possibility. Results show a significant improvement in motion recognition rate where the overall accuracy over seven selected activity classes is greater than 90% compared to the most recent literate at 54%.

RFID Labels Track Single Doses of Propofol
Genixus, a pharmaceutical manufacturer and FDA-registered repackager and 503B outsourcer, has launched its first RFID-enabled prefilled product for use in the acute and critical-care setting. Its ready-to-administer pre-filled propofol syringes leverage the company’s KinetiX syringe platform and Kit Check’s passive UHF RFID tags, reader stations and cloud-based registry, to help hospitals and clinics individually and automatically identify each unique product. Learn how the company is using RFID technology so that each syringe can be tracked, including its expiration date and recall status.
