“Adoption of Smart Packaging Technologies”
- Smart packaging integrates technologies like RFID tags, QR codes, and NFC, enabling real-time tracking and monitoring of medical devices throughout the supply chain.
- QR codes on packaging allow patients and healthcare providers to access instructional videos and product information, facilitating proper usage and adherence.
- The incorporation of sensors and digital readers helps in monitoring environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, ensuring device integrity during transportation and storage.
- For instance, hospitals are integrating RFID tags into packaging for items like prefilled syringes and vials. This allows for real-time tracking, efficient inventory management, and quick location of critical supplies during emergencies.
- The shift towards smart packaging is a key driver for market growth in North America, with companies investing in innovative packaging solutions to gain a competitive edge.
