Abstract

RFID technology is applied in many fields. This technology has the following advantage. If an object has a Tag, Reader can recognize the ID of the object without contact. If this technology is used for identification of patient in hospital, it will be very useful. Patients have different illness. When doctors operate patients or exanimate patients, if the doctor confuses the disease of patient, a fatal medical circumstance may occur. If RFID technology is used for this case, we can easily protect patients from fatal medical mistakes. In this paper, we introduced the developed RFID system for Identification of patient in hospital. This system is displayed on the monitor with the information of name, photo, and illness of patient. RFID system uses general-purpose chip EM4095. Carrier frequency of EM4095 is 125KHz. Operating process of this system is as follows. Reader, which made with EM4095, recognizes the patient's ID. The recognized ID is sent to the host computer. Host computer search the same ID in DB of computer. The Information of patient in DB is shown on the monitor. The information is shown on PDA for accompanied person or nurse. As the result, we explain the developed system and showed the photo of system and showed the table of performance.
