Thin RFID Staff Badge

CenTrak launches people tracking solutions for the healthcare industry, combining real-time location system with thin RFID badges and advanced patient tags. ...

... "At only three millimeters (3 mm) thin the Staff Badge is the thinnest active RTLS tag ever produced and offers years of battery life. This size allows hospitals to place a standard personnel badge on top of the tag, enabling them to be seamlessly integrated into staff uniforms and hospital operations. RTLS programs that involve people greatly depend on the usage of tags. Currently, staff must remember to independently attach a tag to their uniforms.

Gaps in data prevent hospital administrators from being able to make fully-informed decisions. " ...
