Identium’s RFID infant monitoring solution helps hospitals keep every newborn safe, matched to the right mother and accounted for at all times.
How it works
At birth, the baby receives a soft RFID band electronically paired with the mother’s wristband. At every handover — feeding, tests, discharge — staff verify the mother–baby match with a reader instead of relying on handwritten labels alone. Readers at ward exits and lifts raise an immediate alert if a tagged infant approaches an unauthorised exit, and every movement is time-stamped for a complete audit trail.
Why hospitals choose it
- Positive mother–baby matching at every touch point
- Instant alerts on unauthorised movement towards exits
- An automatic census of infants present in each ward
- Soft, comfortable bands designed for newborn skin

Planning your deployment
When you specify an infant security and baby tagging system for a hospital in India, a few practical choices shape reliability. Frequency matters: close-range HF/NFC bands make deliberate mother–baby verification a conscious tap rather than an ambient read, while a supervising layer of gate readers at exits detects approach from a distance. Tamper-evident bands are essential — a cut or removed band should raise the same alert as an unauthorised exit, so genuine tampering is never mistaken for a loose fit on a newborn’s wrist or ankle.
Coverage design deserves early attention. Every ward exit, stairwell and lift lobby on the maternity floor needs a reader zone; gaps invite false confidence. Antenna placement, door width and metal in the structure all affect read consistency, so a short site survey pays for itself.
Integration is the final piece: tying alerts and mother–baby pairings into your patient-tracking and hospital software keeps staff working in familiar screens. Because our readers and antennas are WPC-approved for India’s delicensed 865–867 MHz band and every unit is tested in-house, the equipment is ready for compliant, long-term hospital use.
