Introducing RFID technology in dynamic and time-critical medical settings: Requirements and challenges

► We derive design requirements for RFID tracking system in trauma resuscitation. ► We analyze tasks, environment, and interactions with objects. ► Object location, motion and interaction guided the placement of RFID tags. ► Zone-based location of objects guided the positioning of RFID antennas. ► Placement of RFID tags and antennas requires careful design.
