Daily RFID launches hospital ID kit

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

China’s Daily RFID has unveiled a new RFID-based hospital patient management solution. The solution is marketed in an easy-to-deploy kit format, containing the necessary components for a complete, hands-free patient identification system.

The solution kit includes passive RFID wristbands, a PDA-style handheld reader, and a desktop reader, along with the necessary software. The wristbands are waterproof and non-allergenic, and come in three sizes.

The system can be deployed for a number of applications, including newborn tracing, medication records, and patient monitoring. The system can also be adjusted to enable information from the wristbands to be stored and transferred to and from a range of medical devices and information systems. [end]
