Harvard University develops NFC drug tracking system

Brigham Women ’s Hospital (BWH), a teaching affiliated hospital at Harvard University, is currently testing the NFC drug tracking system to provide nurses with simple patient medication and condition management. The new clinical system uses the Google Nexus 7 device, which can run the latest application and store the medical data and medication of each patient. The NFC tag used in the entire system can be used as a wrist strap and attached to the patient ’s hand. It can also be attached to medical bags and employee cards.

When medication management is required, the nurse uses an NFC device to touch the above-mentioned items with NFC tags. The application in the device will check whether the type and dosage of the drug are used properly, and record the current medication situation and the person using the drug. A review of the medical staff ’s responsibility for medication.

At present, the hospital widely uses a two-dimensional code system. Although it can generally replace the new NFC system, compared with touching the NFC tag to obtain patient medication information, scanning the two-dimensional code is very troublesome and special. In this case, it adds a lot of scanning difficulty. It is understood that the NFC application project is developed by Adam Landman, who is responsible for the clinical data analysis of the BWH hospital and the current clinical simulation laboratory of the hospital (using the model to simulate patients).

Adam Landman believes that the original two-dimensional code system of the NFC system development team was a huge status challenge. First, the nurse's mobile workstation required a large number of data readings that required a short time, and the two-dimensional code was difficult to achieve. In this regard, nurses need simpler and faster solutions, and NFC meets these requirements. If the test is successful, the hospital will conduct a small-scale floor pilot and then extend it to the entire hospital.

Adam Landman also revealed that in the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has a strong interest in the application of new technologies. Especially in drug management, electronic management will greatly save nurses ’time and workload. Nurses spend about 28% of their time in this area. At work.

The simplicity, safety, speed and low cost of NFC technology have brought great interest to the hospital to apply the technology. It is understood that at this stage, the test only stores the patient's name and medication, and in the future, more extended applications will be added.

Paper Bag

A paper bag is a bag made of paper, usually kraft paper. Paper bags are commonly used as shopping bags, packaging, and sacks.

Standard brown paper bags are made from kraft paper. Tote-style paper bags, such as those often used by department stores or as gift bags, can be made from any kind of paper, and come in any color. Paper bags can be made from recycled paper

Paper shopping bags, brown paper bags, grocery bags, paper bread bags and other light duty bags have a single layer of paper. A variety of constructions and designs are available. Many are printed with the names of stores and brands. Paper bags are not waterproof. Types of paper bag are: laminated, twisted, flat tap. The laminated bag, whilst not totally waterproof, has a laminate that protects the outside to some degree.
