Abstract

The paper presents the BERNIE prototype that realizes health assistance within super markets based on RFID technology. By storing the list of ingredients of each individual good, BERNIE is able to support shoppers in an unobtrusive and anonymous fashion. The paper ends with the description of the quantitative results of a 7-days field trial that was conducted at the CeBIT 2007 exhibition.
