In the healthcare industry, patients receiving the wrong medication or doctors administering incorrect drugs can lead to serious medical errors. Such incidents not only compromise patient safety but also strain doctor-patient relationships and result in medical disputes. This is a significant social issue that urgently needs to be addressed.

To ensure patient safety and improve the quality of medical services, healthcare institutions require an effective solution to accurately and timely verify patient identity throughout the treatment process.

To tackle these challenges, the medical wristband system was developed. This system uses wristbands embedded with unique patient identification information via barcode or RFID technology. Nursing staff scan the wristbands using handheld terminals to verify patient identity and medical orders in real-time, preventing medication errors and enabling mobile nursing.

The medical wristband system mainly consists of:

The system enforces the “Five Rights” in medication administration through automated wristband identification and real-time verification via mobile terminals:

From patient admission, physician orders, execution, process monitoring to outcome analysis, the system creates a closed-loop medical management process, greatly improving care quality and process precision.
