The wireless system to support a nursing environment

Abstract

Nursing environment is a front line of medicine. Medical treatment and patient's safety will be improved, if useful equipment and system are provided to the nursing environment. Individual identification like a human and an object is effective in medical scene. Especially, UHF band passive RFID is useful for identification of the human and object without human error. The UHF band passive RFID is able to identify the target object even near the water residue. However, It has been reported that higher field intensity was measured from HF band and UHF band RFID reader at narrow space like an operation room. In this study, it is indicated that the usefulness of UHF band passive RFID. Safety way to use the RFID system is also indicated.
