RFID chips use radio waves to automatically identify objects. They contain a microchip antenna that broadcasts a unique identifier to nearby readers. RFID chips can be implanted in humans and used for medical purposes like tracking patients and ensuring they receive the correct medications. While RFID chips provide benefits like easy access to medical histories, there are also risks like tags migrating in the body or potentially causing tumors. Overall, RFID chip technology has applications in healthcare for inventory control, equipment tracking, monitoring patients, and preventing counterfeit drugs.

2. What is RFID?
• RFID means Radio-frequency Identification.
• Uses electromagnetic field to automatically identify and track
tags attached to objects.
• A technology that employs a microchip with an antenna that
broadcasts its unique identifier and location to receivers.
• Refers to a wireless system comprised of two components:
i. Tags
ii. Readers

3. READER :
• a device that has one or more antennas that emit radio waves and
receive signals back from the RFID tag.
• can be mobile or they can be mounted on a post or overhead.
TAGS :
• which use radio waves to communicate their identity and other
information to nearby readers.
• can store a range of information from one serial number to several
pages of data.

5. RFID Chip Implant
• an identifying integrated circuit device encased in silicate glass.
• implanted in the body of a human being.
• subdermal implant typically contains a unique ID number that can
be linked to information contained in an external database, such
as personal identification, medical history, medications, allergies,
and contact information.

6. Medical Uses for RFID Chips
1) Inventory control
2) Equipment tracking
3) Out-of-bed detection and fall detection
4) Personnel tracking
5) Ensuring that patients receive the correct medications and
medical devices
6) Preventing the distribution of counterfeit drugs and medical
devices
7) Monitoring patients
8) Providing data for electronic medical records systems

7. Uses in the Medical Equipment Field
• can be used to track and locate medical devices.
• enables hospital staff to rapidly locate critical medical devices.
• tags can be used to inventory equipment and consumables used
in an operation.
• can reduce the amount of equipment investment needed.
• enhances patient safety.

8. Uses for Patients
• can also be used in patient identification.
• products are in the form of ID cards, wrist or ankle bands, or labels
applied to patient records.
• assure the right procedures and medications are applied.
• can be used to track patient movements within a facility.
• ensure they do not get lost or enter an area where they might harm
themselves.

9. Uses for Drug Discovery
• to automate the tracking and location of the millions of
pharmaceutical compounds.
• these very valuable assets are difficult to inventory, but it is
essential that it be done with a very high level of accuracy.

10. Advantage
• With access to an individual's medical history, doctors can quickly
reach intelligent decisions about medication and other treatments.
• Since the ID travels inside an individual, there's no risk of being
mis-identified in the hospital.

11. Disadvantage
• Like all small implantable devices, if care isn't taken they can
migrate within the body.
• And there's at least some question about the development of
tumors in regions around implanted RFID tags.

12. Medical
• Drug Counterfeiting
• Medical “Passports”
• Food Chain Precautions
Shopping
• Cashier-less check out and
payment
Household Technology
• Smart keys
• Intelligent washing
machines
• Monitoring refrigerators
• Intelligent
ovens/microwaves
