RFID and digital ID for healthcare and pharmaceuticals.
Increasingly, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, pharmacies, and other healthcare providers are seeking ways to better manage costs, increase efficiency, ensure higher employee and patient satisfaction, and most importantly, improve patient safety.
RFID and digital ID for healthcare and pharmaceuticals.
Improve the performance of the entire system:
Digital ID technology can contribute to the performance of the entire healthcare system, including many processes that require identification, monitoring, control, and documentation – a stronghold of non-contact RFID technology.
From pharmacies to hospitals, RFID can help sort and categorize goods to ensure quality and prevent waste. The benefits extend beyond return on investment as it has the potential to save lives. That's why Avery Dennison has developed a portfolio of high-quality products, including tamper-evident RFID labels and luminescent labels that provide crucial information for pharmacists, hospitals, and those they are treating. These critical RFID-enabled solutions streamline efficiency, improve accuracy, and help manage costs, while also combating pharmaceutical label counterfeiting.
Accurate and reliable medication tracking:
Integrating RFID into pharmaceutical products improves patient safety by enabling more accurate medication tracking and authentication throughout the entire supply chain, aiming to reduce error rates to near zero. It also eliminates the need for costly and, most importantly, in today's critical situation, inadvertently tagging medications at home, thus significantly reducing the burden on hospital staff.
Brief overview: typical applications:
- Track and trace instruments, pharmaceuticals, and samples.
- Accuracy of advertising space
- Product authentication
- Pharmaceutical safety and anti-counterfeiting measures
- Patient safety and satisfaction
Our products and innovations
The healthcare industry is constantly seeking better ways to monitor its pharmaceuticals throughout the supply chain to ensure patient safety and health. Counterfeit drugs, expired stock, and product recalls are among the most challenging issues pharmaceutical companies face today. Our AD-190u8 tag is designed to help address these problems. The 0.866 x 0.492 in (22 x 12.5 mm) antenna will fit inside a 1.25 x 0.61 in (31.75 x 15.5 mm) label and is best suited for tracking pharmaceuticals and medical supplies packaged in medium-sized boxes, such as directly onto glass.
The AD-301r6 is an optimal solution for many healthcare applications due to its high performance (average reading distance of 2–4 meters) on higher dielectric materials such as plastics and glass. It has a slightly larger design than the AD-190u8 at 30 x 15mm and is available in both WEL and NEL orientations. If the user requires memory, this coating is also available with the Monza R6-P chip.
Control is especially important when transporting temperature-sensitive medications and other items. Temperature recorders offer unparalleled data access through their NFC functionality, meaning that most modern smartphones can use NFC to read temperature recording data stored on the tag using a secure app.
For product security and authenticity—critical in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries—Circus Tamper Loop Pro tags and patches combine tamper detection and highly secure product authentication in a single NFC product. These tags feature advanced encryption for secure authentication of pharmaceutical products, as well as a “digital seal” with tamper-evident status stored in the tag’s memory and readable by any authorized NFC-enabled smartphone.
