The system
Each patient at risk of wandering wears a special RFID wristband which allows the individual free movement within a defined safe area, i.e. the inside of a building.

The RFiD Discovery Wandering Patient Safety System reduces the need for nursing staff to continuously supervise 'at-risk' patients.

Keep vulnerable wandering patients safer with RFID
By using latest radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, staff working on busy wards can get early warnings of a wandering patient - suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or mental health issues - if they leave a defined safe zone. This cost effective solution is designed specifically for healthcare facilities to maintain a safe environment whilst promoting independence for patients.
Benefits
• Helps maintain a safe environment for vulnerable patients
• Reduces pressure on busy nursing staff
• Promotes independence for patients
• 24/7 automatic monitoring
How the wandering patient safety system works
An alert
Any movement beyond this area will trigger an alarm or lock an exit door, whilst carers, visitors and other residents can freely move through the protected doorway.
The technology
When the patient wearing the wristband approaches a secured exit, a low frequency (LF) receiver inside the tag works with an LF exciter to trigger the alert to notify staff or lock the protected exit.
