DEVELOPMENT OF A REAL-TIME LOCATION TRACKING SYSTEM FOR HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS

Real-time location tracking systems have become increasingly popular in healthcare applications. These systems allow healthcare providers to track the location of medical equipment, patients, and staff members in real-time, improving efficiency, and patient care. This paper describes the development of a real-time location tracking system for healthcare applications. In result, the development of a real-time location tracking system for healthcare applications has the potential to improve patient care and efficiency in healthcare settings. The system utilizes a combination of wireless sensors, RFID tags, and a central database to track the location of medical equipment and personnel in real-time. The system is modular and can be easily customized and expanded to meet the specific needs of different healthcare providers. The system has several potential benefits, including reducing the time spent searching for equipment and improving patient care, but also several potential limitations, including the cost of installation and the need for significant training for healthcare providers. Further research is needed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of the system in different healthcare settings.
