The smart medical waste management system is fully electronic. Starting from the source end, the system can be used to oversee the entire waste collection and transportation process through its online positioning function. A robust management scheme enables directly inputting waste weight data from a collecting station into the system. The system then calculates the amount of wastes generated by each ward or clinical examination room to set a threshold for the amount of wastes produced by each hospital unit. Photos taken for end-of-pipe open-bag waste inspection can be uploaded to the system, which also features a real-time online education and communication platform for discussing waste sorting. This facilitates waste disposal and sorting control from the waste source to the end-of-pipe inspection. The goal of the system is to reduce waste production, ensure logical and legal waste disposal, control environmental pollution, reduce environmental burden incurred by incineration, and lower the cost of medical waste disposal.
