An Intelligent Infant Monitoring System Using Active RFID

Abstract

At present, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been widely accepted in hospitals to monitoring newborn babies.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 recognize without difficulty different locations of newborn babies which are attached wristband active RFID tags. The system can accurately recognizes the locations of newborn babies by using Bayesian network classifier 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.
