Digitally generated wristbands can definitely be a useful aid for identification purposes as well as for sharing important information. Aravind Eye Hospitals utilise digitally printed wristbands not only within the hospital premises but also at the campsites, where they are printed using a laptop and a portable printer. These wristbands can be easily produced, making them a convenient and efficient tool for managing camp activities. These bands are designed using appropriate software, which allows essential information to be printed, such as the patient’s name, UHID, MR number, planned eye for surgery, and other pertinent details required during their stay at the hospital. This system helps the staff identify patients when they arrive at the hospital from the campsites, reducing confusion and potential mishaps.
