Expert system for adopting wireless identification technologies (WIT) in healthcare; fundamentals and applications

The wireless identification technologies or WIT are all the technologies and applications for contact-less automatic identification. The term WIT implies that no visual or mechanical contact is necessary to transfer information about the identification of a device, product or process. WIT is a ferti...
