RFID (radio-frequency identification) employs electromagnetism to track objects. It uses tags to store electronically coded information which is identified with the help of a reader. RFID is employed in hospitals and healthcare establishments to improve work efficiency, gather health data, and track patients’ progress.
The RFID in healthcare market is likely to reach USD 4.8 billion by 2022. It was valued about USD 646.7 million in 2014. Its key driver is loss or theft of medical devices resulting in hospital losses. Low costs & high efficiency of RFID systems should boost their usage over the next seven years. Furthermore, medication expirations and stock out incidences may increase market adoption.
