07.07.2011, Kuala Lumpur: E-Health2u Sdn. Bhd, the Malaysian leader for RFID Security
Solutions in Healthcare published today the 9 month experience of the first infant security
system in Malaysia.
The Liberty Baby Watch system from Swiss partner ER Systems SA,
part of the IDENTEC GROUP, has been successfully implemented in the
Mahkota Medical Centre in Melaka end of 2010 to ensure the security of
newborns in the maternity ward. Babies are equipped with fully
supervised and tamper proof RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
bracelets that uniquely identify each of them. When a malicious person
attempts to abduct a baby, an alert will be triggered at the nurse station,
enabling security staff to take immediate action.
Liberty Baby Watch is hospital approved (EN60601 safety norm) and special care has been
taken that the solution is optimal for newborns. The latex-free and waterproof bracelet can be
adjusted to the babys ankle. This is especially important as infant loose weight in the first
hours of their lives. Moreover, the round corners of the device ensure the baby skin is not
scratched.
A very creative business model has been proposed to the hospital, ensuring
minimal financial effort and work to implement the solution says Ashley
Wilhelm-Pang, CEO of E-Health2u. The idea is to supply an all-inclusive
package including consumables and maintenance in order to let the hospital
personnel concentrate on patient care. The business model has been
intensively discussed with Malaysian and international customers and fits
100% of their needs.

Additional features like mother-baby matching, asset tracking or VIP
portable nurse call are also available and can be implemented on the
same infrastructure explains Tobias Britz, CEO of ER Systems SA, the
Swiss company that provided the concept. This allows future extension
of the system and avoids duplication of vendors for wireless security
inside the premise. Mr. Britz adds: Weve trained E-Health2u to
install and maintain our solutions according to our Swiss high quality
standards and I must say, Im impressed by the professionalism of their team in KL.
Since October 2010, Liberty Baby Watch is used every day by the Mahkota Medical Centre
to protect smiling newborns.
