Single-Use Wearable Patient Locator RFID Tags

3711_large.jpg Radianse has created a single-use patient locator RFID wrist band, reports Mobilemag.

"The tag can be slipped onto a patient's wrist or ankle and setup to show their location information and report it to a cell phone, from admission to discharge, or if they have left the compound and wandered about

Using a hospitals existing WiFi network, the Radianse RFID tags transmit continuous radio signals to Radianse receivers. These receivers plug into a hospital's existing wired or wireless LAN with no danger of interfering with mission-critical clinical applications or devices."
