abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Near-field communication (NFC) is a short-distance wireless data transmission technology with potential
for wearable sensors. Xu et al. (2020) developed a battery-free smart textile patch with an NFC antenna
and a temperature sensor (STP-NFC) [1]. To address potential issues with the testing protocol that
could affect the accuracy and precision of temperature measurement from the STP-NFC, a validation
experiment was conducted at a fixed room temperature of ${\rm 20}^◦{\rm C}.$ This was done using a commercial
IR imager to compare the results with the STP-NFC results. Results showed excellent accuracy with
an average temperature of ${\rm 21.50}^◦{\rm C}$ and a difference of only ${\rm 0.36}^◦{\rm C}$ from an IR imager’s reading. The
STP-NFC also had excellent precision with a small standard deviation of 0.83. Optimal performance
was achieved with a 6 mm distance, a 150-second time interval, and a 4-second scanning duration for
each scan. Additionally, the gage repeatability and reproducibility (R&amp;R) study has been conducted to
assess the STP-NFC measurement system’s consistency, and the STP-NFC’s reproducibility has been
demonstrated. These results have implications for developing reliable wearable medical monitoring
devices using NFC technology.</p>},
