The principal objective of this paper is to present an effective solution for storing and retrieving a cancer patient's medical history in hospitals, clinics and wherever else need be. We have used latest technologies like Near Field Communication (NFC) as a medium for communication, MySQL server for storing the database i.e. EHR (Electronic Health Record) of patients and lastly an Android application which will provide the interface for the same.

“…In another instance, a hybrid ABM-DES model for emergency medical services in a city is conjectured, although an actual model or simulation has not been reported [45]. In a more pedestrian optimization, resource planning for placement of RFID readers in an RFID system may be integrated into the ABM as a means of estimating errors associated with the tracking system [46].…”

Agent-based modeling has become a viable alternative and complement-to-traditional analysis methods for studying complex social environments. In this paper, we survey the role of agent-based modeling within hospital settings, where agent-based models investigate patient flow and other operational issues as well as the dynamics of infection spread within hospitals or hospital units. While there is a rich history of simulation and modeling of hospitals and hospital units, relatively little work exists, which applies agentbased models to this context.INDEX TERMS Agent based modeling, emergency departments, institutional environments.

“…Several simulation research has been done for healthcare environments. The uncertainties inherent of a RFID tracking system in ED are also studied in another work by Laskowski et al (2010). An RFID real-time location system (RTLS) augmented agent based model was constructed as a tool to study the uncertainty.…”

“…Agent in ABM is an autonomous entity in the model which follows pre-defined rules to achieve some objectives while interacting with other agents and the whole environment (Laskowski et al, 2010). Agent could be almost any objects in the model including people, equipment and rooms.…”

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), as the name suggests, is technology that makes use of radio frequency electromagnetic wave to automatically identify objects. In spite of its broad applications, a RFID system might inherently produce some false and duplicate readings. Such reading data would affect the accuracy of the RFID system and might result in an unreliable performance or even complete unavailability of the system. In this paper, a reading rate-based algorithm is proposed to efficiently clean RFID data for a local business in product tracking. The method takes advantage of the proportional relationship between reading rate of a RFID tag and its distance to the reader to filter among raw data sets. Using the proposed reading rate-based algorithm, the reading accuracy of the RFID system in the local business is greatly improved.
