This study is motivated by the observations on the data collected by radio frequency identification (RFID) readers in a pilot
study, which was used to investigate the feasibility of implementing an RFID-based monitoring system in an outpatient eye
clinic. The raw RFID data collected from RFID readers contain noise and missing reads, which prevent us from determining the
tag location. In this paper, fuzzy logic-based algorithms are proposed to interpret the raw RFID data to extract accurate
information. The proposed algorithms determine the location of an RFID tag by evaluating its possibility of presence and absence.
