Human tracking device for hospitals, nursing homes, and private use

摘要

A tracking device for tracking a patient and providing patient data. The device features a base ring for securing around a patient's wrist or ankle, the base ring is locked via a tamper-detecting optical lock with an alarm component. A microprocessor with a memory component is disposed in the base ring. A universal serial bus port for transferring data to and from the memory component is operatively connected to the microprocessor. An active radio frequency identification (RFID) circuit with a unique signature is disposed in the base ring, the active RFID has an antenna adapted to send signals from the RFID circuit and receive signals for the RFID circuit, the active RFID circuit is adapted to autonomously transmit signals within a range to an external communication system via the antenna, the signals representing location of the active RFID and information stored on the memory component.
