The application of AIDC technologies within the healthcare sector is not new.  There are a range of examples which already show how patients and NHS Trusts alike can benefit from the use of these technologies.  Barcodes to correctly identify blood samples, wristbands for patient identificiation and the use of 2D codes to prevent prescription frauds are just a few examples of how the technology has been applied. 

But the potential for further applications in the field of patient care is enormous.  Developments in RFID tagging mean that tags can now be minaturised to such an extent that their applications can be much more widespread.  Other applications relate to improvements in document management, anti-counterfeiting for drugs and even medical device identification and "kitting".
