This technology is going to be everywhere and this is nice that we have students using cell phones to scan for valued information here too. It enhances the program 
and gives the students instant information, like what I have been advocating for FDA Recalls and have a bunch deaf ears in that department.
This is a pretty basic concept, see the tags and scan and get instant information as shown on the playground picture. It also engages and that’s the huge missing link with mobile health IT and everyone keeps missing that boat as I don’t they have realized this this is ok and it is cool. Sometimes things like that take time, just tablets did but the luddites when they see value eventually wake up. This is cool as with a heat map they can see how many are using the technology too. Here’s some additional information from a prior post and if you like this idea of being able to find FDA recalls too, give it a yes on my poll. The yes’s are way ahead here so we have value demonstrated by the poll.
Microsoft Tag Bar Codes–Who’s Been Scanning the Medical Quack–The Bing Heat Map Tells All And Could Help Find Stolen or Expired Drugs and Devices With This Methodology
Ok remember a while back where I said stolen drugs could be located with 
Tags, well here we have a suggestion or an idea, a heat map from Bing. The products could be tagged by “lot” number and/or products. Obviously on a large scale we are looking at one grand “cloud” operation here. Device and drug companies could have their own maps and of course with a synchronized FDA data base and perhaps one at the DEA some of those stolen articles could be found when someone goes to scan a product? In case you have missed some of this click on the “bar code campaign” image and see a summary 
of what ideas I have been cooking up to even include the White House using them. The link is always at the top of the blog for reference any time.
So I decided to look and see if anyone has been scanning my tags and I mapped 
them. You need to have over 20 scans to show up and I was impressed I have over the number needed which means folks have been scanning the tags on this blog! The purple dots are the cell phone scans.
Recalls, children's products and playgrounds all seem to come together, you think? BD
