Abstract

Background: In a world increasingly shaped by technological innovation, the healthcare sector plays an important role in society’s sustainable advancement. This study explores the use of IoT and RFID technologies to improve hospital operations and modernize healthcare services. Methods: We propose a patient tracking system that uses RFID wristbands for real-time monitoring of patient movement. The paper describes the system’s design, components, installation process, and evaluation. Results: The system was implemented and tested by a private healthcare provider in Romania. The results show improvements in operational efficiency, accuracy in tracking, and overall patient care. Conclusions: The use of RFID technology in healthcare offers a practical approach to improving hospital operations. This system proves the potential for more efficient patient management and better overall healthcare delivery.
