Abstract
RFID technology has proven to be an effective solution in many applications for monitoring demented patients. However, its wider acceptance is still limited by prohibitive deployment costs, technological limitations and privacy concerns. In this paper, an RFID-based indoor tracking system was analyzed regarding an additional barrier of RFID’s acceptance which is an issue of choosing an appropriate strategy for tagging patients. This includes making the trade-off between technological constraints, healthcare staff’s routines and the fact that patients with dementia may tend to remove foreign objects.
