Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined how to manage medicine, using the micro RF tag. In this experiment, we pasted up the micro RF tag(2mm or less) on the blister pack, and tried a method for detecting whether or not using the medicine. If the sheet is opened, the shape of the dome is deformed, and the micro RF tag is moved away from the reader. If this phenomenon is detectable, we can build a system to automatically manage medication. The results of the experiment were excellent, so we may utilize the micro RF tag, making better oral medicine management system.
