Internet of Things - CASAGRAS
Definition

A global network infrastructure, linking physical and virtual objects


through the exploitation of data capture and communication
capabilities. This infrastructure includes existing and evolving
Internet and network developments. It will offer specific object-
identification, sensor and connection capability as the basis for the
development of independent federated services and applications.
These will be characterised by a high degree of autonomous data
capture, event transfer, network connectivity and interoperability. -
Also actuation and control

Data carrier technologies

Thursday, November 1, 2012


Data carrier technologies

The data carrier technologies exhibit two key features. These are
the ability to store data and secondly the ability to read, and where
appropriate modify, the stored data by means of a suitable reader or
scanning device.

Such data carriers include:

Optically-encoded devices, including optical character recognition


and mark reading, bar codes and two-dimensional codes.

Magnetically encode devices, including magnetic stripe cards and


non-contact magnetic resonance devices.

Electronically encoded devices, including contact memory and


RFID devices.

An example of a
stacked barcode.
Specifically a PDF417 sample
"Codablock"
barcode.

The PDF417 bar code (also called a symbol) consists of 3 to 90 rows, each of which is
like a small linear bar code. Each row has:
• a quiet zone. This is a mandated minimum amount of white space before the bar
code begins.
• a start pattern which identifies the format as PDF417.
• a "row left" codeword containing information about the row (such as the row number
and error correction level)
• 1-30 data codewords: Codewords are a group of bars and spaces representing one
or more numbers, letters, or other symbols.
• a "row right" codeword with more information about the row.
• a stop pattern.
• a quiet zone.
All rows are the same width; each row has the same number of codewords.

Radio Frequency Identification

Thursday, November 1, 2012


Introduction to Radio Frequency
Identification
RFID, short for Radio Frequency IDentification, is a technology that enables
identification of a tag (that is normally attached with an entity) by using
electromagnetic waves. The function served by RFID is similar to bar code
identification, but line of sight signals are not required for operation of RFID.
Important components of an RFID system are:
• An RFID reader (also called transceiver) with an antenna and a transceiver,
• A transponder (Also called a tag) that includes an antenna and a chip).

Parameter Bar Code RFID

Frequencies used for tag reading Optical frequencies Radio frequencies

more industries adopt the technology.

Introduction to Radio Frequency
Identification
Benefits of RFID

The following are the benefits of RFID Systems:


• Non-line of sight identification of tags.
• Unattended operations are possible, minimizing human errors and high cost.
• Ability to identify moving elements that have tags embedded.
• Larger area of coverage. Up to several feet.
• Can be used in diverse environments, including live stock, military, and scientific areas.
• RFID can be used in addition to Bar Code. These two technologies can be complementing each
other.
• Automatic integration with back end software solutions provide end to end integration of data in real
time.

Disadvantages of RFID:

• Expensive compared with Bar code


• Bulkier, due to embedding of electronic components in the tag. However, with advanced techniques,
it is possible to reduce the size, and weight of the tags to a large extent.
• Prone to physical/electrical damage due to environmental conditions. For example, tags that are
subjected to space exploration may encounter extreme temperatures. The tags required to be
designed for a given application, and may be costly when designed for use under extreme
environmental conditions.

Item-attendant ICT applied to
healthcare services

✓All over the world the health system suffers from:


high costs,
poor control of medical procedures,
long delays to provide assistance to the
patient.
✓ The available control systems are limited to
record administrative events and provide financial
reports.
✓ They hardly contribute to the decision make
process and do not integrate the medical care
into their working flows

✓ The need for identification is of primary
importance in addressing most if not all of the
problems for annual losses associated with errors
and uncertainties, particularly in respect of:
➡ Adverse patient events.
➡Crime, comprising fraud, theft and other
criminal acts.
➡Hospital acquired infection.
➡Drug errors.
➡Clinical negligence.
➡Occupational health and safety.
➡Maintenance of medical equipment.

An architecture to implement item-
attendant ICT in healthcare

In this work we propose an IoT-based architecture of a medical care system that integrates
the various operations theaters of a hospital. Some examples are:
‣administration of ambulance calls;
‣remote monitoring of vital signals;
‣automatic storage and retrieval of patient's medical history;
‣hospital admission;
‣requirements and tracking of medical examinations, lab tests etc;
‣prescription and administration of medicines;
‣tracking of equipments;
‣administration of assets maintenance;
‣precise monitoring of costs;
‣staff and patients access control.
