“…It operates within the radio frequency of 13.56 MHz, has bandwidth speeds up to 424 kbits/s, and is heavily customer-oriented with a variety of mobile devices already supporting it (Lopez et al, 2013; Shah and Yaqoob, 2016). Vasquez et al (2015) used NFC technology for a system to correctly identify and monitor the health patients in hospitals and health-related centres for better tracking and control. Another example of NFC being useful is in Halevi et al (2012) where the proximity was explored to provide secure validation on transactions by using NFC featured mobile phones alongside its ambient sensors (audio and light).…”

The textile and clothing industry sector has today a big environmental impact, not only due to the consumption of water and the use of toxic chemicals but also due to the increasing levels of textile waste. One way to reduce the problem is to circularise the, currently linear, textile and clothing value chain, by using discarded clothes as raw material for the production of new clothes, transforming it into a model of circular economy. This way, while reducing the need to produce new raw materials (e.g. cotton), the problem of textile waste produced is also reduced, thus contributing to a more sustainable industry. In this article, we review the current approaches for traceability in the textile and clothing value chain, and study a set of technologies we deem essential for promoting the circular economy in this value chain – namely, the blockchain technology – for registering activities on traceable items through the value chain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, for easily identifying the traceable items’ digital twins.

“…Some advantages are: Scope and availability to be integrated into each of the phones in the world, easy to use, information security, etc. Some disadvantages are: Applications must use cryptographic protocols to a higher layer to establish a secure channel; the storage capacity of tags is limited so you must think well the use that would be given to them within a certain field [5][6][7].…”

“…Other identification technologies have emerged including some wireless proposal, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) that is classified as an evolution of RFID and that can make an adequate management of some security features and standards within the range of existing applications [5,6]. Security features were studied by Alzahrani et al introducing a new classification of NFC system attacks using a novel multidimensional representation [7].…”

The Inadequate identification of patients in health care centers remains as a common problem that has brought incidents and adverse event to this kind of facilities. This work presents a system design to deal with this situation. To develop this proposal different identification systems and patient monitoring systems in health centers was studied, and existing identification technologies have been compared to develop this proposal. The NFC technology was chosen as part of a system solution because of its availability in mobile phones, its feature of information security, speed, low cost and simplicity in data exchange. The confidentiality of the patient information is guaranteed through authentication profiles for system access and the use of SSL and HTTPS protocols. The purpose of the proposed system is to provide an appropriated information transfer, keeping track on treatment and facilitate control of them by the health care center staff members, in order to minimize accidents and mistakes of identification and to improve the healthcare quality.
