Monitoring and observation applications have been deployed throughout the years using wired and wireless technologies in healthcare industries. The procedure implemented by health professionals in Malaysia on measuring vital signs is conducted manually. Efforts have been made by many researchers to use Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) as a solution in measuring vital signs of patients from remote location in hospitals. Amongst the wireless technology chosen were Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Zigbee technologies where they fit the purpose of healthcare application in terms of two ways communication, high patient's safety, higher number of nodes and etc. However, the current RFID tag is seen to have setbacks in terms of efficiency and accuracy of data transfer.
