The objective of this project is to tracking the medical samples in the hospital using radio frequency identification (RFID). Medical Laboratory Specimen Tracking System (e- Specimen) includes a range of specimen bottle tagged with an RFID tag and a system that can read and write the details about specimen. RFID is a system that transmits the identity of any object (in the form of a unique serial number) wirelessly using radio waves. The specimen bottle labeled using RFID tag and the details about it and patients will be computerized in database, so doctor and lab assistant easily can access to the database to view the information. The possibility also exists for a wide range of more advanced applications ranging for using RFIDtechnology for asset and patient tracking in the health care industry.
