Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the automatic identification technologies more in vogue nowadays. There is a wide research and development in this area trying to take maximum advantage of this technology, and in coming years many new applications and research areas will continue to appear. This sudden interest in RFID also brings about some concerns, mainly the security and privacy of those who work with or use tags in their everyday life. As the process of industrial and commercial automation, hospitals are also being included in the context of automation. Thus, Solutions that can automate hospital processes were searched, in order to make them more secure and with a lower operational cost.
Existing System:
Currently in hospitals there is no efficient technique to maintain the clinical samples of the patients. Just paper details are used to verify the clinical samples detail, which is proving to be fatal in some cases due to wrong treatment. That is why we are going to automate the data to be acquitted from the clinical laboratories.
Proposed System:
In this proposed system we are going to use RFID tags for every collected sample. The doctor who wants to see the patient details can just see it in a PC for which the data is fed from the PC. Before collecting the sample the patient’s details must be fed in to the database through administrator. After that a separate RFID tag must be given to the devices in which the samples are to be collected. In the front end when the doctor shows the tag to the reader the signal is passed to the controller which transmits the signal through UART to PC. From PC we can view the corresponding details of the patient.
