Abstract

Recent development of ubiquitous technology prompted its application for the blinds. In this work, we developed an RFID goggle equipped with a voice guide for the blinds who have difficulties in obtaining medication informations. When a blind, wearing our RFID goggle, tags the RFID tag attached to a drug, the RFID goggle announces the already saved medication information. We used STM32 as MCU and MFRC523 for RFID chipset in the reader. Our miniaturized hardware supported ISO 14443A protocol, and the standardized conformance test was performed. When the blinds wear our RFID goggle, they can conveniently access to the medication informations, and thus the drug misuse cases may decrease.
