The radio frequency identification (RFID) stampede is reaching new sectors: healthcare, airplane parts, and computer service and support.
MIT's Auto-ID Labs is establishing a research initiative to look into the application of RFID technology in the healthcare industry. The labs will collaborate with EPCglobal, healthcare companies, and industry associations. The group will focus on the information and material flow of pharmaceutical products through the healthcare supply chain, as well as on the integration of sensors, telemetry, and biometrics.
