Flonase gets NFC-enabled 'smart' shelves in Canadian retailers

GlaxoSmithKline recently introduced “smart” shelves for its Flonase allergy medication. Consumers in Canada can use a smartphone with a near-field communications (NFC) chip to tap a Flonase shelf in stores and get more information about the product, according to a press release. Thin Film Electronics developed the high-tech shelves that contain special tags to give consumers an interactive experience while they're making a purchasing decision in a store.
