ABSTRACT:
An electronically and visually detectable diaper or article of apparel is used in a system and method for detecting the unauthorized movement of an infant from a secure area in a hospital. The diaper may have electronically detectable indicator tags embedded therein that are detectable by a transmitting and receiving unit positioned adjacent openings to the secure area. The diaper may also include a visually conspicuous appearance to defeat attempts to thwart the electronic detection system. The indicator tags may be positioned in perpendicular planes so that the transmitting and receiving unit may detect the diaper, regardless of the diaper's orientation as it passes through the transmitting and receiving unit.
