The care sector can utilise NFC (Near Field Communication) tags and QR codes in several innovative ways to improve efficiency, communication, and the overall experience for residents, families, and staff. By integrating NFC tags and QR codes into everyday operations, the care sector can enhance communication, improve access to information, and create a more seamless, interactive experience for residents, staff, and families alike.

NFC tags or QR codes can be placed on residents' room doors, personal items, or medical charts. When scanned, these can provide staff with quick access to up-to-date care plans, medication schedules, or emergency protocols, ensuring personalised and timely care.
NFC tags or QR codes at entrances or visitor areas can streamline the check-in process. Visitors can easily scan the code to sign in, while also accessing important information such as visiting hours and health and safety protocols. This makes it easier for staff to monitor visitors and ensures compliance with policies.
QR codes or NFC tags can be used to share activity schedules or event details with residents and families. By scanning the code, they can access up-to-date information about upcoming activities, community events, or wellness programs. This helps keep everyone informed and engaged.
NFC tags or QR codes can be placed on objects or in public areas allowing residents to interact with their environment. For example, scanning a QR code next to a painting or photo could provide information about its history or even play related music or videos, promoting mental stimulation and engagement for residents.
NFC tags or QR codes can be placed throughout the facility to gather feedback from residents and families. For example, placing a code on the back of a chair or at the nurse’s station allows family members to quickly leave feedback about their experience, or for residents to rate services, fostering better communication between families and staff.
In case of an emergency, QR codes or NFC tags could provide instant access to critical information, such as evacuation plans, emergency contacts, or health data. This ensures that staff can respond quickly and efficiently in urgent situations, improving overall safety.
