- Biomedical Engineering
- Information Security
Background:
- Medication errors pose significant risks to patient safety.
- Automated systems using RFID technology aim to mitigate these errors.
- Existing RFID solutions may face limitations in resource-constrained healthcare environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel, dynamic ID-based lightweight RFID authentication protocol.
- To enhance medication safety and patient identification in healthcare settings.
- To provide counterfeit protection for medications.
Main Methods:
- Development of a lightweight RFID authentication protocol.
- Utilizing pseudo-random number generator, one-way hash function, and bitwise XOR operations.
- Designed for tags with limited storage, computational, and communication capacities.
Main Results:
- The proposed protocol is practical for the healthcare domain.
- Demonstrates security and efficiency for patient medication systems.
- Addresses the constraints of low-capacity RFID tags.
Conclusions:
- The dynamic ID-based lightweight RFID authentication protocol enhances medication safety.

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...
