Abstract
More and more healthcare personnel are using computer networks and wireless enabled PDAs (personal digital assistants) in their daily work. This leads to the vision of smart environments with location-based knowledge and information services in healthcare facilities. Location tracking of healthcare workers and patients naturally facilitates the realization of such visions. It is also useful in enhancing the safety of the residents in a nursing facility. This paper introduces the authors' efforts in applying wireless technology to track the locations of residents in nursing homes. A software client is developed for an industrial location tracking product. The design and implementation of the software client are discussed in this paper. Test results are also reported. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
