Development of RFID-based “Smart+” Vital Signs Measurement Instruments and Systems

Abstract

In the context of the increasing pace of information technology in hospitals, the construction of “intelligent medicine”, with new technologies and methods as the main means of innovation, is also becoming an important part of the development of high-quality medical care. In the care system, vital signs such as blood pressure and body temperature are important indicators of the health of the human body. This paper aims to build a vital signs measurement system using RFID technology as the main technical means, by combining sensor technology and RFID transmission technology, using active RFID tags to build body temperature and blood pressure sensor tags [1], and latching on to RFID technology to complete the measurement and transmission of data. The RFID technology can be used for real-time monitoring of blood pressure and body temperature, and can play an active role in the diagnosis and health monitoring of patients with acute and critical illnesses, which will ultimately promote the development of intelligent care and high quality of care.
