This paper presents an RFID-based Medical Health Card and Emergency Alert System designed to improve patient identification and emergency response. The system uses a dual-mode identification approach combining RFID cards for normal conditions and fingerprint recognition for emergency situations where the card is unavailable. A Raspberry Pi acts as the central controller, interfacing with an RFID reader and fingerprint sensor to retrieve patient data from a cloud-based database. A web interface is used to display patient details, and a GSM module is integrated to send emergency alerts with patient information and hospital location to registered contacts. The proposed system enhances accessibility, security, and reliability of medical data retrieval during critical situations.
