An Emergency Care System Using RFID and Zigbee Techniques

In this study a RFID technology to assist medical care personnel with ward round and nursing is proposed to increase the management efficiency and reduce the human caused careless mistakes. We use the RFID tag, ZigBee technology, and long-range wireless communication to build an emergency care system. The designed model consists of an active RFID tag, an active RFID-ZigBee positioning reader (including Router) and wireless network module. Because using wireless transmission, this architecture does not require any communication cable. When the router is placed in the corresponding position, the patient can be located, making this construction relatively simple.
