RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) in Drug Delivery

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) in drug delivery involves using tiny electronic tags embedded in medication containers or patches. These tags transmit unique identification data when they receive radio signals, allowing healthcare providers to track and verify the medication's identity, dosage, and delivery status in real time. This technology enhances safety by preventing errors, ensuring proper medication administration, and enabling precise monitoring of when and how drugs are delivered to patients. RFID improves overall efficiency and accuracy in managing pharmaceuticals within healthcare settings.
