  • Abstract
    Near Field Communication (NFC) is a standards-based, short range wireless communication technology which validates two-way interaction between electronic devices allowing contactless transactions and provides an ease to connect devices with a single touch. NFC allows exchange of information between devices within 10 cm range. NFC technology is also available in form of tags. These NFC tags can store some information in it with a unique identification number. This feature of NFC tag can be used in many real time applications. In today´s world with rapid development in mobile technology mobiles can be used in many applications. Now a day most of the mobiles are NFC enabled. The use NFC for unique identification of patients in hospital then it will be a great step towards automation of healthcare. Use of NFC based identification will surely reduce mistakes of giving wrong treatment to patients in highly populated hospitals. In healthcare services efficiency and accuracy are two very important aspects. Use of NFC in healthcare will provide these two aspects very well. NFC is the wireless communication technology that is very easy to use and technical as well as non technical persons like doctors, nurses can use them efficiently. So NFC based healthcare can be employed for not only providing automation and accuracy in healthcare as well as to lower down cost of healthcare in developing countries.
