What is Near Field Communication in Healthcare Market?
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless communication technology that allows two-way communication between two NFC-enabled devices over a short distance. The patient's medical history, medicines, and real-time sensor data can all be stored on the NFC tag, which can also be utilised as an electronic health record.Employee access, patient check-in and check-out, prescription content, based payment, employee visitation, inventory, and wristband are some of the key applications of Near Field Communication in healthcare. As a result, near field communication technology in healthcare enhances patient identification by removing paper-based documentation tasks, increasing automation and efficiency while reducing human labour. It also relieves patients of the stress of bringing hefty files to regular check-ups by allowing them to simply carry their smart tag and update it each time the health checkup is completed.
