Abstract:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a rule that require certain human drug and biological product labels to have a linear bar code, to help reduce the number of medication errors. This paper descripts a software support system for care givers and patients to identify the barcode use a camera phone. It is an economical and effective way if we can create software to help people to identify the barcode and show the information they need just on their phone.
