Abstract :
RFID tags are integrated into medical sticking plasters for future health monitoring applications. For compatibility with the skin, the tag is fabricated from conducting Electronylon material and is demonstrated to work with a useful read range when placed directly on the skin. For the purposes of this study, a useful read range was defined as more than 50cm.
