Bangalore Heart Center Uses Passive RFID Cards to Track OutpatientsSource: "The RFID Journal" (The World's RFDI Authority)Date: 29 May, 2007 By Beth Bacheldor The EPC-based system, from Aventyn, has helped the facility increase patient throughput, reduce the use of paper forms and better track equipment. The Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain (BMJ) Heart Center in Bangalore, India, is using passive UHF RFID tags to help maintain patient records, monitor patient flow and care, and track assets throughout the hospital's outpatient department. Since the fall of 2006, the cardiac hospital—part of the Vivus Group —has employed the Clinical Information Processing Platform (CLIP), from Aventyn , a wireless technology company based in San Diego, Calif. The facility now tracks an average of 100 new patients a day, as well as returning patients, as they check into its outpatient department. "We were aware of some hospitals in the United States using [RFID] for asset tracking," says Dr. Satish Chandra, BMJ's director of noninvasive cardiology, "and were interested in how this could really benefit patient care." The Web-based CLIP system includes software and EPC Gen 2 interrogators and tags. In addition, Aventyn helps its customers plan for and implement the software and hardware. In May, the company announced an updated version of its CLIP solution, able to support Microsoft's BizTalk RFID platform for managing auto-ID devices. (read more...) |

Afghan doctors get telemedicine lessons in India Source "We have been fighting for the past 30 years. The war has stopped now but we don't have any facilities to reach out to those in rural areas or to get in touch with specialists in other countries," lamented paediatrician Momand Ajab Gul. At Sankara Nethralaya's conference hall, Dr. Gul and colleagues Amirmohammas, Sultani Ghulam Yahya and Sultany Nilowfar listened to what technical manager of teleophthalmology project, V. Murali, had to say on Thursday morning. "We have completed 410 camps in the last one-and-a-half years," said Mr. Murali. Dr. Nilowfar, a gynaecologist with the Indira Gandhi Children Hospital in Kabul, was surprised to note that one doctor sees 50 patients from the outskirts a day sitting at the conference hall. "ISRO gave us everything free in the beginning and also provided training," recalled Mr. Murali. It also facilitated the seven-day training for the Afghans. The programme is funded by the United Nations office for Outer Space Affairs."We have been linking remote villages to medical centres in the city via satellites in India," said a senior ISRO official. It is offered the facility — transfer of diagnostic info via satellite and later teleconferencing for treatment — ever since reconstruction of Afghanistan started. "We are hoping to set up a telemedicine centre at Kabul," added the official. |
