Abstract
This paper examines the impact of daily activities on the performance of a body-mounted radio frequency identification (RFID) tag inkjet printed onto tattoo transfer paper. This paper aims to assess how robust RFID tags of this nature are when mounted on the skin while the user undergoes various daily activities. The factors considered for these robustness tests are the effect of sweat and wear and tear on these tags during everyday use and also how it stands up to being exposed to water and soap during showering. Performance assessment was carried out using parameters such as point-to-point surface DC resistance as well as read range. Results show marginal effects on the tag performance and the tag continued to function during a normal day's activities, which lasted for 8 h, and rigorous activities like exercising but stopped functioning when there was severe damage to tag.
