Making every journey safer with RFID and NFC in healthare

By giving every medicine and device a secure, compliant digital identity, we turn vulnerability into intelligence - helping manufacturers and caregivers build safer, smarter, and more trusted healthcare systems.

                                       

 

Every day, millions of medicines travel unseen from factories to hospitals, pharmacies, and homes. Intelligent RFID and NFC labeling makes each one traceable, verifiable, and connected. This combats counterfeit medicines, ensuring patient safety, improving medication adherence, and restoring trust from source to patient.

The future we’re shaping

“This is not a future to watch, it’s a future to shape.”
Barbara van Rymenam explains how Avery Dennison and its partners are enabling safer, smarter healthcare.
