LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Healthcare<\/a>—NFC Forum<\/a>, the global standards body for Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, has launched a Healthcare Special Interest Group (SIG), underscoring the new and emerging use cases for secure, interoperable and regulatory-compliant NFC Forum technologies in the sector.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe group will promote the safe and effective use of NFC technologies within the healthcare ecosystem to enable safer, better-quality care in applications such as medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, and healthcare delivery systems.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are seeing rapid adoption of NFC technologies across the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. As use cases proliferate within these sectors, global standardization is vital to deliver patient safety and enhance user experiences,\u201d comments Mike McCamon, Executive Director of NFC Forum.<\/b> \u201cUsing existing NFC Forum Standards \u2013 as well as adapting and evolving our specifications to meet the needs of the healthcare sector \u2013 is key to enable the reliable, intentional and secure device-to-device connections that result in seamless and familiar user interactions. It also ensures security and alignment with national and international regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe group will address critical aspects of NFC enablement in healthcare, such as: cybersecurity and regulatory alignment; creating and validating new NFC use cases; and defining the technical basis for interoperability across the NFC Forum ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe Healthcare SIG will utilize the expertise of its members to standardize and strengthen the role of NFC technology within the sector,\u201d comments Stefan Genser, Chair of the NFC Forum Healthcare SIG.<\/b> \u201cThis also includes fostering collaboration across the NFC and healthcare ecosystems to optimize industry knowledge and drive practical solutions that deliver better outcomes for both patients and healthcare providers. We call on all interested parties to get involved and join the discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nLed by its Board members, including representatives from Apple, Google, Huawei, Identiv, Infineon, NuCurrent, NXP Semiconductors, Sony, and ST Microelectronics, NFC Forum empowers organizations to deliver seamless, secure contactless interactions to users around the globe in numerous industries, including healthcare.<\/p>\n
