Ensuring the safe and timely delivery of blood transfusions is one of the most critical aspects of healthcare. Any errors in blood transfusion—such as delivering the wrong blood type—can lead to life-threatening consequences for patients and significant costs for healthcare institutions. That’s why Mobile Aspects developed iRISecure-Blood Tracking, a powerful, RFID-based solution designed to automate and optimize blood inventory management while enhancing patient safety.
