What is something in the Bio-Medical your field have to deal with that you want to fix?
There are currently no mandatory standards governing the formatting of machine-readable codes used to create barcodes and QR codes for medical products. Regulation in this space would help to standardize the machine-readable barcoding framework and remove inconsistencies and incompatibilities in this space.
