The RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology is considered a mobile based application and it has been used in the past 50 years. The electronic device consist of a small chip and antenna, and it serves as a purpose to code or magnetic strip on the back of a credit card or ATM card. The magnetic strip needs to be scanned to gain all the identifying information.
The RFID technology is effective and efficient because the readers can interrogate the tags much faster. Versus the barcode, the RFID can read further distance and less time consuming than the barcode. According to (Technovelgy.com, n.d.), the RFID technology can pull information up to 300 feet. The RFID is able to allow data transfer for consumer goods via electromagnetic fields. The RFID system consist of four components and the so-called transponder, an antenna, a reading device or reader and a data processing system. All of these applications allow the RFID technology to store information without visual contact.
The medical field loves the RFID technology because it can quickly upload the processing server and the employee does not have to stand directly behind the computer. According to (Alien Technology Corporation, 2008), pharmacies have a hand-held device called the ARL-9650 and it can quickly authenticate medication once the manual process of validating orders to be automated. This improves the operational efficiencies and accuracy. The ARL-9650 add convenience of a single connection. According to (Alien Technology Corporation, 2008), the ARL-9650 use the Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) option, which is a simple LAN cable serves as dual functions Enables communication with the server and provide power to the reader. The product is self-contained ...

Victorian government came up with a new idea of smart card ticketing transport system. This was also to collaborate the train, bus and tram services in Victoria. With this spark of idea in 2002, a project case and a feasibility study was
This technology assist the nurse in confirming patients identify by confirming the patients’ dose, time and form of medication (Helmons, Wargel, & Daniels, 2009). Having an EHR also comes with a program that allows the medical staff to scan medications so medication errors can be prevented. According to Helmons, Wargel, and Daniels (2009) they conducted an observational study in two medical –surgical units one in the medical intensive care (ICU) and one in the surgical ICU. The researchers watched 386 nurses within the two hospitals use bar code scanning before they administrated patients’ medications. The results of the research found a 58 % decrease in medication errors between the two hospitals because of the EHR containing a bar code assisted medication administration
The placement of implantable chips into patients for the purpose of accurately identifying patients and properly storing their medical history records has become a subject of a strong debate. Making sure patients are properly identified before a procedure and storing their health history records for future use has been difficult, if not impossible. The idea of being able to retrieve accurate patient’s medical history for a follow up care without relying on patient’s memory is a challenging task for many healthcare organizations. Many ideas and technologies have been introduced over the years to help solve this problem, but unfortunately the problem is still not fully resolved. There are still many errors in the healthcare due in part by improper record keeping and inaccurate patient identification. One idea that has being in discussion to eliminate these problems for good, is the introduction of a chip or radio frequency identification (RFID) technology implanted into human for the purpose storing medical data and accurately identify patients. VeriChip Corporation is currently the maker of this implantable RFID chip. They are the only corporation cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to make this implantable radio frequency transponder system for humans for the purpose of identifying patients and storing their health history information. The chip was first developed for the use of radar systems by Scottish physicist, Sir Robert Alexander Watson-Watt in 1935 just before World War II. (Roberti, 2007). This technology helps identify approaching planes of the enemy from mile away. Today, RFID has several uses. It is used for animal tracking. It is attached to merchandise in stores to prevent theft. It can be instal...
We now accept the sharing and digital storage of our personal information as a necessary evil. We continue to incorporate, into our lives, technology that uses this data. Microsoft and Google are envisioning and developing ways to commercialize the use of even more of our stored personal information.
Properly implemented and medication-use technology has the potential to moderate these costs. Bar-code-assisted medication administration (BCMA) has been shown to reduce medication administration errors by as much as 54-86%. BCMA, along with computerized electronic prescriber order entry and an electronic medication administration record, closes a technological loop that extends from the transmission of the order to the administration of the medication at bedside (Strykowski, Hadsall, Sawchyn, VanSickle, Niznick,
A smart card connects to a card reader either through direct physical contact or through a remote, contactless radio frequency (RF) interface. A typical smart card has a plastic card body, a chip embedded in the body, and a contact plate. The contact plate ( usually gold-plated) is visible on the surface of the card. (Figure
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a computerized ID innovation that uses radio recurrence waves to exchange information between an onlooker and things that have RFID gadgets, or tags, joined. The tags hold a microchip and receiving wire, and work at universally distinguished standard frequencies. Barcodes are much smaller, lighter and easier than RFID but RFID offers significant advantages. One major advantage of RFID is that the innovation doesn't oblige any observable pathway the tags could be perused as long as they are inside the range of the spectator, whereas in barcodes in order to read the barcode the barcode scanner should close around 10-15 fts. In RFID data, for example, part and serial numbers, assembling dates and support history is put away on the tags and catches which help in maintenance of equipments. RFID technology as high value for asset management and inventory systems

RFID has taken strides from being a far off solution to becoming a mainstream application that helps speed the handling of manufactured goods and materials. RFID is an identification and tracking tool for a product using radio waves. It uses a microchip and a printed antenna that can be then packaged in several different forms such as a label or embedded between layers of a carton. These labels are then used to identify the manufacturer, product category and the RFID enables this identification from a distance and unlike earlier bar-code technology, it does so without requiring a line of sight.

Personal data is quickly becoming a commodity in today's high technology world. This information is used by banks, investment and brokerage companies, credit card merchants, government agencies (local, state and federal), and consumer product-based companies. Most people probably don't realize the amount of information that's shared between companies, or how often it's done. Many companies sell and share customer data to help sell products and find out what new products they should produce. Other uses include gathering information about inventory levels to help better determine what types of products are bought at which store, when and how often. This can be used for inventory and production, to make sure that the store (or stores for chains, like Safeway and Long's Drugs) can have the products available when they're needed.
RFID is a technology that has been developed, updated, and enhanced since the year 1970 (Bonsor). The technology has advanced, making it more efficient, usable, and productive. RFID uses radio waves to transmit information from an RFID tag to an RFID reader. These radio waves are similar to those that are broadcast through wireless networks except are generally shorter range (What is RFID, n.d.).

Before diving into the smart card technology and security I want to first address the question of what smart cards are. According to CardLogix Corporation (2010) “A smartcard, typically a type of chip card, is a plastic card that contains an embedded computer chip- either a memory or microchip type- that stores and transacts data.” The website continues on about how the data and information is stored and managed from within the card.
There are more cell phones than residents in Britain (computerweekly.com, 2007). The first cell phone was invented by Dr. Martin Cooper and John F Mitchell in 1973 (Wikipedia.com, 2014). Cell phone use has escalated over the years. Not only does cell phone usage affect the character traits of a person and their ability to hold regular, face to face conversations, it also affects a person’s ability to have healthy, stable relationships.
Have you ever asked yourself, what the world would be like if there weren’t any mobile applications. Society is impacted by the new development in technology daily. Someone is always claiming that their inventions will revolutionize the world, but no invention has had more success over the years, in the cellular world than mobile applications. People all around the world use millions to billions of applications daily for personal and business uses. For example, social networking which is use by all generations of people. It has an influence the way we purchase cell phones, in order to have the capability. With the creation of different smartphones and tablets, comes the demand for more mobile applications. This causes competition among application builders. Mobile applications are designed to its user making their experience less complicated. Mobile applications have their advantages and disadvantages, depending on its design and designer. They can be created to be very simple or complex, depending on its intended function. Has society benefited from the usages of mobile applications or is it just a distraction. What impact do mobile applications have on society.
