Patient tracking by UKM

This was taken from Imagine Cup finals 2006 sponsored by Microsoft. There were few team presenting their ideas, particularly from the UKM team. The RFID used was passive, not active so actual tracking was not real-time. I felt using Ekahau system would accomplish the purpose as WiFi to track patients is cheaper as compare to using RFID readers on every room. And also you can also upload the actual floor plan to the system. Plus, you can also track doctors, nurses, medical equipments, PCs, PDAs etc. you name it.

RFID document tracking

Document management systems require the reliable monitoring of important unique documents which move around in companies, public or legal offices: on desks, in shelves, in cabinets and in archives.

Only Magellan's PJM StackTag® technology is capable to identify, read and write to all RFID labeled documents when they stack without any separation – even in stacks of many hundreds.

PJM stands for Phase Jitter Modulation. It can provide fast read data rates upto 100 - 400 times faster than other rfid data rates. Hey, law firms here i come!!!

Psion Teklogix Workabout Pro Gen2 slot

Been playing with the Psion Teklogix Workabout Pro Gen 2, testing the UHF by CAEN RFID reader (Xmod slot) and also the WiFi from Summit (CF slot). Wonder is it possible to have one more slot for HF RFID reader? Dunno, slots all used up. The RFID gives pretty good read distance < 1 m.
