3 Project Motivation Paper-based environments: medical errors approach 40 % (US Food and Drug Administration FDA) In-hospital medication errors: 44,000 deaths per year in the US, 700 deaths per year in Canada (Institute of Medicine, National Academic Press, 1999) Theft of equipment/supplies: $4,000 per hospital bed each year ($3.9 billion annually in the US) Asset Tracking: One third of personnel time is wasted in searching for medical equipment (e.g., infusion pumps, wheelchairs, etc) and patient files. Approximately 10 % of the inventory is lost annually. November 19,

22 Challenging Issues and Research Findings Short-range coverage for passive RFID systems Multipath and scattering from surrounding objects may reduce tag readability even at close proximity to the reader antenna Tags are affected by the attached surface (metal, liquids, etc.) Privacy/security issues Are the doctors and nurses willing to explore this technology in a healthcare environment?

27 Concluding Remarks An UHF Gen 2 RFID system for healthcare applications was designed and implemented successfully in a laboratory setting. Major tasks include: Automatic and error-free patient identification Real Time Location Service of medical equipment within the premises of the hospital Quick and accurate monitoring of inventory (drugs, patient files, etc.) Tag readability and range were improved by using indoor propagation models and laboratory measurements in order to optimize antenna position inside the patient rooms. Tag polarization and space diversity was used with great results. A user-friendly Graphical User Interface that fully talks to the hardware (readers, printer, etc) via wireless/lan network was developed after close consultation with the medical staff of the Oncology Center A highly secured database with encryption was built on a server to house medical information and sensitive/private data associated with in-hospital patients Evaluation of the pilot RFID system at the Bank of Cyprus Oncology Center is under way Difficulties and challenges still exist; e.g., tags on metal surfaces or liquids, 100 % readability (?), long-range coverage, etc. November 19,
28 As illustrated in the figures below, the reflection coefficient due to a possible mismatch between the chip impedance and the antenna impedance may significantly affect the maximum forward tag range. Enhancing chip power sensitivity increases the maximum forward tag range in a non-linear manner (Fig. 1) A higher reflection coefficient results in a lower maximum forward tag range (nonlinear dependence) (Fig. 2) f = 865 MHz P tx G = 2 W tag = 2 dbi PLF = 0.5 L c = 1.5 db Maxium forward tag range (m) G tx = 7 dbi Gamma=0 Gamma=0.5 Gamma=0.9 Maximum forward tag range (m) Chip Sensitivity = -14 dbm Gtx=5dBi Gtx=7dBi Gtx=10dBi Chip power sensitivity (dbm) Absolute Value of Reflection Coefficient November 19,
29 Maximum Forward Tag Range Strongly dependent on the sensitivity of the chip, the impedance matching coefficient of the chip to the tag antenna, the polarization loss factor, the gain of the tag antenna, etc. P chip 2 2 ( )( 1 Γ )( ) Ptx GtxGtag PLF PL (min) = L λ PL = = Path Loss (line of sight) 4π r Solving in terms of r yields the maximum forward tag range r max c 2 ( PLF )( 1 Γ ) λ Ptx GtxGtag = 4 π LP (min) c chip 1 2 * 2 Zc Za 4RR c a 1 Γ = 1 = Z + Z Z + Z c a c a Conjugate match allows maximum power capturing from the interrogating signal Carrier Bit 0 ( Z L = Z 1 ) Bit 1 ( Z L =Z 2 ) 2 P tx = Effective radiated power (ERP = 2W for Europe: MHz) Backscattered Signal from Tag to Reader November 19,
