Over the last few years, wristbands have evolved drastically from a being a fashion accessory to an electronic device that can monitor health. Wristbands find extensive applications in the healthcare and hospitality segments in keeping the caregivers updated about the needs of the patients. In a hospital setting, the barcoded wristbands fulfill the ‘five rights’ of patient care – right patient, right medication, right dose, right time, and right method of administration. Moreover, RFID wristbands assist caregivers and healthcare professionals in scanning and identifying patients and further verifying the patient’s medications, specimens, and charts. Most hospitals have also introduced wristbands with standardized colors to identify patients with specific conditions. Frequently known as medical alert bracelets, the wristbands are classified into red, yellow, purple, pink, and green.
- Red-allergy
- Yellow-fall risk
- Purple-do not resuscitate
- Pink-restricted extremity
- Green-latex allergy
