The Infant Tag Safety System is a state-of-the-art RFID solution designed to enhance the safety and security of newborns in delivery rooms and hospitals. Licensed by Borda Technology, this system includes various components such as infant-tags, mother-tags, badge-tags, locators, and readers, all working seamlessly together to prevent infant abductions and ensure accurate matching between mothers and their newborns.
In close collaboration with Borda Technology, Formeta Design managed the entire design process, including both hardware and software development. This collaboration resulted in the creation of the Infant Tag and Mother Tag, RFID tags specifically designed to ensure the correct matching of mother and infant. By utilizing a Real-Time Location System (RTLS), the Infant Tag system enables the monitoring of the infant’s location from birth until discharge, effectively eliminating the risk of kidnapping.
Each tag is equipped with an emergency nurse paging button, available on both the infant-tag and mother-tag, offering a direct and immediate way for the medical team to respond in case of an emergency. The simplicity and efficiency of this feature underscore the system’s commitment to user-friendliness and safety.
Formeta Design played a crucial role in bringing this innovative system to life. Our team was responsible for the industrial design, design management, concept development, and rapid prototyping. We designed the unified tag case that could be adapted for both the mother and infant, differing only in colors and printed images for a more personal touch. This thoughtful design approach ensured that the tags were both functional and easily recognizable.
The Infant Tag safety system is already being used in hospitals across multiple countries, helping to safeguard newborns in their critical first hours of life. It is a proud achievement for us at Formeta Design to have contributed to a solution that provides peace of mind to parents and healthcare professionals alike.
By leveraging cutting-edge IoT technologies in the Industry 4.0 era, the Infant Tag System offers a seamless integration of hardware and software that addresses a sophisticated need in modern healthcare. We are delighted to have been part of this transformative project, which has set new standards in hospital safety protocols for newborns.
