Mobile services provider Skycore has added a cloud-based web service to its CodeReadr NFC tag and barcode scanning app, designed to enable secure tracking and authentication of home medical equipment assets, dispensed medications and home care visits.

The CodeReadr app reads an NFC tag's unique ID and records its GPS location and the method of capture. By recording the capture type and location, service providers can ensure the data was taken via NFC and not from a fraudulent source such as manual input or a copied barcode, the company says.
