A healthcare monitoring and alarm system 100 configured to detect the presence and status of a tag 102 via a hub 104. The tag is configured to communicate with the hub either directly or via a relay 108. The hub has an interface configured to communicate with a remote help centre, a transceiver configured to communicate with the tag and a connection having a transceiver configured to communicate with a relay. The tag has a transceiver configured to communicate to the hub the presence of the tag and the status of the tag, including the barometric status, orientation of the tag and energy readings or acceleration associated with movement of the tag. The transceiver in the tag is further configured to receive an interrogation signal from a locator device and the tag is configured to send a response transmission to enable the tag to be located. A processer in the tag encodes a data packet consisting of the status to the hub via the transceiver. The hub is configured to generate an alarm condition when the tag is not detected, the tag moves to an unauthorised area or the monitored status indicates that a person in possession of the tag needs attention. |
