Optimizing Supermarket Shopping Simulation Using NFC: An Inclusive Approach for People with Disabilities

Abstract

The RFID Supermarket project was conceived with the idea of creating a therapeutic application that, using NFC technologies, functions like a real supermarket checkout. This allows residents in the CAPDs to practice tasks such as grocery shopping, differentiating objects by color, or following a recipe by scanning NFC tags. To achieve this, we developed an application in Android Studio capable of reading NFC tags. These tags serve to identify the different food items in the supermarket within our database. The application allows for flexible growth, as users can generate new lists and add additional items to the database, enabling continuous reuse and updates.
