or mental health problems can
be extremely stressful. Tagging someone who tends to wander could
safeguard him or her from injury, or even death, as
well as providing some peace of mind to the harassed
staff. Tags can be attached to o
r worn by the patient.The
solution which we introduce is an integrated electronic monitoring, in
which an electronic alarm warns the staff, if patients wander too far
away. The main objective of this system is to locate patients at any time
accurately within a premises area. In case of risky situation, an alarm
should be initiated and a near by video camera might be triggered.
All the doors were electronically
locked, with the patients and staff wearing tags to enable them to pass
through certain doors and stop non-authorized.
The possible
application scenarios are basically involving all sorts of patient
activity areas, access points, hazardous spots, patient data, authorized
personnel, alarming, events recoding, and communications.
The system can be used to cover
up staff shortages in care homes or hospitals.
As solution and application service providers,
HTES ltd is able to customise such system to specific demand.
Implementing the latest cutting edge technology in this field, HTES
can develop the system that fits to customer’s budget and
requirements.
The basic components of the system
include:
1.RFID
tags
2.Networked
RFID readers
3.Digital
video monitoring
4.Access
control
5.Central
computer & software
The modular structure of the system
allows future expansion to be carried out easily.
The central computer gathers information from each RFID reader
within the system, and implements a special tracking software to survey,
manage, record, and analyze as well as to set up rules specifying when and
how notifications of certain events occurring should be sent. Patient
information and movement can be viewed on a friendly screen. Alarming can
be set to take different forms for different locations.

monitoring, and access control in one
system
