Project Recap
PharmaSys has recently begun creating a bedside verification system called eMeds using RFID systems and barcoding.
Point of care bedside verification systems have drastically reduced the amount of errors in medication delivery as well as specimen collection and blood transfusion
Our design project centers around expanding the system to provide universal verification for all patient processes
