Custom active RFID solution for children tracking and identifying in a resuscitation ward

In this work is discussed an active RFId system to track and identify patients in a children´s critical care ward. The technical solutions may be very different according to the patients type, age and cognitive conditions and according to the hospital shapes. The proposed system to track and identify patients has been developed taking into account all the constraints induced by the particular environment. The system is composed of five different hardware devices and a tracking software, purposely designed and realized.
