A real-time location and infant monitoring system based on active RFID

Abstract

This study proposes a real-time location and infant monitoring system based on active RFID. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology meets identification and tracking newborn babies in hospitals to monitoring newborn babies with potential to speed up and increase reliability of involved processes. Due to this, this study proposes a straightforward and efficient infant monitoring system to reduce the potential risks of the theft, misuse hold and abnormal body temperature. The system can accurately recognizes the locations of newborn babies by using a decision tree classifiers after the active RFID readers has received different intensity of electromagnetic waves transmitted by active RFID tags. The infant monitoring system also can detect temperature anomalies of newborn babies real time by the body temperature sensors.
