Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) though finds its use in many applications, still has to be accepted in a clear view. Talking in the perspective of a patient the only thing that strikes first is that lots of treatments undergone, many health records to be maintained, and after which remembering the concerned doctor’s name and other details. This becomes impossible at a certain point of time when the details have to be conveyed. To make it easier this concept of maintaining a centralized information system and sharing has been proposed through the use of RFID technology. RFID is known for its unique ID number. Using this advantage, in the first section the monitoring of a patient is done whenever he arrives at the hospital. In case of any shifts from the hospital the information is still available. Every patient is provided with a unique RFID number and all the details regarding the patient and treatments are stored in a centralized database which is retrieved by the server. The second section is patient tracking where in case of any emergency in a closed environment the patient is provided with assistance in a short span of time. The patient is regularly monitored by the temperature and heartbeat sensor. The moment the value crosses the normal range a message is sent through GSM/GPS to the nearest hospital with its location and also to a relative. Assistance is provided accordingly to the patient. Perceived advantages are the major aspect in promoting RFID use in healthcare. The research concludes that RFID in patient tracking system has barriers like privacy issues. Besides the advantages, there are also disadvantages of using RFID technology in the patient tracking system. To make the system more secure, issues related to the patient safety (i.e., security, privacy) need to be resolved. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become popular in so many fields from military to industry applications. RFID tags have been embedded into manyvarious products especially in logistics sector. A tag stores individual information of its attached object and an RFID reader communicates with the tag in radio frequencies to identify the object. This object to be monitored may also be a human. In our work, RFID technology is applied in health care systems. The system supports wireless mobile communication between the RFID tags and readers. Each patient available in the system is inherently mobile and wears a bracelet integrated with a unique tag, and the readers are mobile PDA devices each including a wireless RFID reader card. The proposed application can be used to identify and monitor the patients. KEYWORDS: GSM Modem, MAX 232 IC, PIC micro-controller, RFID Reader, RFID Tag. I. INTRODUCTION: RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. RFID is one member in the family of Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technologies and is a fast and reliable means of identifying objects. There are two main components: The Interrogator (RFID Reader) which transmits and receives the signal and the Transponder (tag) that is attached to the object. RFID leverages electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to identify objects over a distance of potentially several meters. While its origins can be traced back to 1940s its commercial applications have started expanding significantly recently as a replacement or supplement to barcode technology, thanks in part to standardization, availability of commercial off-the- shelf (COTS) components, and their reducing cost. RFID systems are employed to track shipments and manage supply-chains and to automate toll collection on highways, and are being deployed for many new application areas (e.g., passports, airline boarding passes, luggage tags, etc.). In this work, we experimentally examine the patient details and track them in the case of an emergency in an indoor environment. Our focus is on the people (patients) who do not have any assistance at home particularly the oldies who are totally on bed. Our implementation highlights the monitoring techniques in RFID technology. We have structured our paper in two sections RFID has recently been used in hospital administration. In the hospital, the RFID is useful for promptly retrieving and tracking the situations of patients. Creating a more secure healthcare system might reduce the incidence of medical mistakes.
