Barcodes, RFID, WLAN, Bluetooth and many more technologies are used in hospitals. They are the technological bases for different applications such as patient monitoring, asset management and facility management. However, most of these applications exist side by side with hardly any integration and even interoperability is not guaranteed. Introducing the concept of smart objects inspired by the Internet of Things can improve the situation by separating the capabilities and functions of an object from the implementing technology such as RFID or WLAN. By aligning technological and business developments smart objects have the power to transform a hospital from an agglomeration of technologies into a smart environment.
条形码、射频识别、无线局域网、蓝牙以及更多技术都在医院中得到应用。它们是诸如患者监测、资产管理和设施管理等不同应用的技术基础。然而，这些应用大多彼此并存，几乎没有整合，甚至连互操作性都无法保证。引入受物联网启发的智能对象概念，可以通过将对象的能力和功能与诸如射频识别或无线局域网等实施技术分离来改善这种情况。通过使技术和业务发展保持一致，智能对象有能力将医院从一堆技术转变为一个智能环境。
