RFID-Based System on Emergency Medical Care

Abstract

This study is based on RFID technology to detect the locations of medical care personnel and patient who move around indoors; meanwhile, wearable and mobile physiological signal detection suite technique is associated to monitor the physiological status of the patient at any time. Through the positioning message of RFID, the computer system can assign medical care personnel that is nearest to the patient at emergency accident to perform medical care. Furthermore, through the use of wireless mobile device, it can be ensure that medical care personnel can obtain any emergency message of the patient at any time. Through integration of three techniques such as RFID technique, physiological signal detection suite technique and wireless mobile device, a set of emergency medical care system structure is designed in this study. Meanwhile, based on this system structure, a prototype system is developed to verify the feasibility of this system structure. Through the emergency medical care system developed in this study, no matter when and where emergency accident occurs, medical care personnel can reach the patient at the emergency accident site in the shortest time to reduce the possibility of delayed medical care.
