Abstract. This position paper surveys relevant literature in order to evaluate Real Time Location System (RTLS) for the health care sector. The first step is to identify the most common aspects required for a feasible health care implementation. The second step is to utilise these identified criteria to evaluate common RTLS technologies. The most feasible technology matching these criteria will be selected. Because the most feasible technology selected from the evaluation may lack one or more of the most common identified aspects for a healthcare RTLS, enhancements of this technology will be proposed to overcome these limitations.
