This hybrid RFID-WiFi-based patient tracking system for improving patient safety in hospitals. The Hospital Real-Time Tracking System (HRTS) uses RFID tags to track the location of patients, and WiFi access points to provide real-time location information. The HRTS is able to track the location of patients within a few centimeters, and can be used to prevent patient falls, medication errors, and other safety incidents. The HRTS is scalable and can be easily deployed in any hospital. The system was evaluated in a real-world setting, and the results showed that it was able to track the location of patients with high accuracy. The HRTS is a promising new approach to patient tracking that has the potential to be widely adopted in the healthcare industry. The HRTS uses a hybrid approach of RFID, LoRa and WiFi to track the location of patients. RFID tags are small, passive devices that can be attached to patients or their belongings. RFID readers can be used to scan the tags and identify the patient or object. WiFi access points are used to provide real-time location information. The HRTS combines the accuracy of RFID with the scalability of WiFi to provide a more reliable way to track patients. The HRTS was evaluated in a real-world setting at a large hospital. The system will able to track the location of patients within a few centimeters, and it was able to detect patient falls and other safety incidents in real time. The HRTS was also found to be scalable and easy to deploy. The HRTS is a promising new approach to patient tracking that has the potential to be widely adopted in the healthcare industry. The system is scalable, accurate, and cost-effective, making it a viable solution for improving patient safety.
