Project Aims/Objectives Improving supervision and medical care with in a care home by

tracking the elderly patients suffering from dementia using RFID technology.

To improve the social quality patients currently experience whilst maintaining the high levels of care

To track Care Workers locations to improve response times to patient emergencies, improving resource deployment

Locate each patient with a per room accuracy within 5 seconds of requesting

Scan each patients RFID tag within a 2 meter scan radius of RFID scanner 99% of the time with antenna availability

Reducing the time taken to attend by 30% within 4/5 incidents. Reduce the number of patient safety incidents by 80% within the first

year of deployment. Reduce the access of patients to restricted areas of the Care Home

Facility 24/7/365 through Geo-fencing concepts. A COTS product delivery catering for 90% of the markets

requirements for the services provided.

Project Brief A central system  interface to the system for Care Home Workers to

interact with locating patients, Care Home Workers and other administrative features of the system

Central System interface accessible over an internal closed loop intranet to provide patient profile data to authorised Care Home Workers
