Abstract

The use of RFID technology in HCI research is emerging. We identify its promising application in the healthcare sector by empowering the process of capturing, extracting and analyzing data, which help understand task patterns underlying human errors and other intriguing phenomena. RFID and video as research tools are compared to identify their strengths and weaknesses. RFID can be cost-effective and powerful, especially when combined with the hospital information system and optionally with video analysis.
