过去两年，人们对射频识别（RFID）和移动的技术的兴趣激增。射频识别系统在制造业、供应链和医疗保健中有许多应用。在RFID系统中，产品和物体被赋予RFID标签以识别它们自己。在医疗保健方面，RFID技术的使用不仅可以降低医疗保健成本，还可以帮助医院内外的患者识别过程自动化和简化。然而，隐私和安全问题对这些系统构成了相当大的挑战。在本文中，我们提出了一个移动的远程医疗解决方案的基础上，低成本的可穿戴RFID手镯标签感知紧急情况下，老年人慢性病，并启动紧急行动。该系统可以帮助医院内外的患者，收集老年人的生命体征，以便远程提供及时的护理，并有助于改善日常生活活动（ADL）。
The last two years have witnessed an explosion of interest in Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and mobile technologies. Radio frequency identification systems have many applications in manufacturing, supply chain and healthcare. In an RFID system, products and objects are given RFID tags to identify themselves. In a health care context, the use of RFID technology can be employed for not only cutting down health care costs but also help automating and streamlining patient identification processes in and outside hospitals. However, privacy and security issues pose considerable challenges on these systems. In this paper, we present a mobile telemedicine solution based on low cost wearable RFID bracelet tags for perceiving emergency situations in elderly with chronic diseases and initiate emergency action. The proposed system can assist patients inside as well as outside hospitals, collect vital signs of the elderly for delivering prompt care remotely, and help to improve the Activity of Daily Living (ADL).
