Intelligent sensor for tracking and monitoring of blood temperature and hemoderivatives used for transfusions

The present work describes the design and manufacture of a prototype (currently in use) of an intelligent sensor for the tracking and monitoring of blood temperature and of hemoderivatives to be used in transfusions, over the entire process. Furthermore, this system provides information in real time of the blood reserves organized according to their characteristics (Rh, type, date, etc.). The device is based on RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification), this being the method that best suits the needs of these types of health materials. The system helps track the blood in space and time from extraction to transfusion. In this way, the blood is monitored according to certain parameters: the time elapsed and the temperature that could determine its state before transfusion. The system has been tested in hospitals and the results have been excellent.
