Indoor localization in a hospital environment using Random Forest classifiers

作者：

Highlights：

• A system able to localize patients in a hospital environment is proposed.

• The system relies on RFID technology and a combination of Random Forest classifiers.

• The system has been deployed in the emergency unit of a large Italian hospital.

• Accuracy, precision, complexity, robustness and scalability have been evaluated.

• Patients localization is correctly performed in 98% of cases.
