Near Field Communication, or NFC, is a technology that used existing wireless technology such as Blue tooth and Wi-Fi. NFC technology is being used in a variety of ways. Currently there is a forum for those interested in developing this product. Here is a link to the NFC Forum.
In a recent newsletter, I read about a competition put on by the NFC. From what I understood, the competing teams were supposed to implement NFC technology into a certain product. The first place team, from the Netherlands, used NFC in the medical field. They used it for home nurses visiting patients. The home nurses visit the patient's home, scan an NFC enabled card, treat the patient, and re-scan their card.
The article said file transfers, medical information, and prescriptions would be updated instantaneously. This reduces the cost of administration personnel allowing for increased time between nurse and a patient. Click here to see the article that was emailed to me
The NFC forum posts potential uses for their technology. Near Field Communication has an unlimited number of uses. Keep an eye out as more advances in this technology take place.
