RFID transfer tattoo tags and Assisted Living

This article consists of a collection of slides from the author's conference presentation. Some of the specific areas/topics discussed include: concept of tongue touch and proximity sensing RFID has been shown to work in the mouth. Future work will develop multi-chip tags of appropriate size to fit on hard palate. RFID transponder IDs provide multiplexing for sensors. Systems should be cost effective and disposable and current work on printing technologies is supporting this. Ultimately, multiple sensing mouth tags for speech pathology could assess tongue placement during speech. Current solutions require wire looms to pass through patient's mouth and disrupt speech.
