The development of advanced spatial-positioning and monitoring systems for medical monitoring and emergency response using RFID & Wi-Fi technologies is a large-scale research project being conducted at the ward W21C of Foothills Hospital, Calgary, Canada by University of Calgary. The scope of this project is to support real-time location tracking of medical equipments and personnel in hospital settings. In this context, we developed an innovative, interactive, decision-support medical system for tracking of personnel and high value medical equipments. The goal behind development of such a system is to provide a convenient, easy to use interface using existing technologies that allows to visualize and analyse clinical pathways and health care provider’s workflow pattern as well as to perform time motion studies and more advanced statistical pattern analysis. While achieving this goal, we aim to also fill the existing void of documentation and present to scientific community functional issues encountered along with their importance in success.
