MyChild® is an electronic infant security system in hospitals designed to track the location of infants and pediatric patients and prevent abductions and/or elopement.
In a MyChild System, patients wear RFID-enabled security tags that communicate wirelessly on an FCC-compliant radio frequency that does not interfere with hospital equipment.
MyChild™ tags continually communicate their presence and locations to the server via receivers that are placed throughout the protected area. This allows users to track patients and receive notifications of security tag tampering and low battery. If a tagged patient approaches a controlled exit, an alarm is triggered and door locks engage if desired.

MyChild™ infant alarm system architecture is stable, available, and redundant. Disruptions on the hospital IT network will not hinder egress protection on infant or pediatric units. Utilizing this pediatric and infant tracking system means providers and parents can feel secure knowing that infants and children are being monitored around the clock.
Events, alarms, and videos are all displayed on browser-based devices through the MyChild software.
MyChild™ is one of a number of RTLS (Real Time Locating System) applications for healthcare from McRoberts Technologies.
