Abstract
In the hospitals, since a lot of medical equipment is manually managed, the load for medical staff is large. To improve it, the medical equipment management systems by two-dimensional symbol and/or RFID have been introduced in some hospital. However, it is difficult to apply these systems to the existing equipment. In this research, we develop a new recognition and management system with image processing for existing medical equipment. This system constructed by the database and the software. Then, this software provides the functions which are registration, deletion, management, confirmation, prints, and so on of equipment information. We developed such a system which recognized and management equipment without working it into them.
