China’s Health Ministry to invest in RFID
China’s Ministry of Health has announced plans to ramp up the use of RFID technology to increase the safety and effectiveness of medical and healthcare services.
At an ‘internet of things’ seminar in Beijing recently, Gao Yanjie, Deputy Director of Information Office, Ministry of Health, said that more government spending would go on RFID equipment, infrared sensors, global positioning systems, and laser scanners for public health, medicine, and healthcare services.
This investment would facilitate “remote healthcare”, which would bring down public healthcare costs as well as make tracking drug treatment and medical waste easier, Gao said.
The Ministry of Health also has plans to include health information in a new version of the smart citizen ID card.
