FEATURED STORY
How RFID Aids Alzheimer's Patients
Researchers at Intel are developing systems that use RFID tags and sensors to assist people with cognitive impairments. The work marries tracking technologies with a software inference engine that creates trending data for doctors and assists people with routine tasks. The research could lead to smart homes for the elderly and infirm, and perhaps one day, for all of us.
