Objective To select a electronic medical tag system suitable for modern war. Methods The active radio frequency identification technology was surveyed, modeled, and improved. Results It was demonstrated be tests that active radio frequency identification technology met the requirements of electronic medical tag system. Conclusion The electronic medical tag system based on radio frequency identification technology changes the traditional working mode and enhances integral capability of field first aid.

Objective To test the timeliness of newly developed electronic medical tag system.Methods According to a standardized logistical process of medical tag in battlefield,timeliness tests of electronic medical tag and paper-based medical tag in two different echelons: battalion-company and medical battalion were completed,and the data of two groups were compared.Results It showed that the consumed time in the electronic medical tag system was 3/10 and 1/11 of the consumed time in paper-based medical tag respectively.Conclusion The timeliness of the electronic medical tag system is much better than that of the paper-based medical tag and meets the timeliness requirements of treatment in battlefield.
