Abstract: A shield, when coupled to a tracker device that is worn by an individual, reduces interfering signals originating from the human body that can adversely impact the detection of signals transmitted by the tracker device. The shield can include multiple layers of components. Specifically, the shield includes a base component that is attached to an adhesive element on the first side of the base and covered by a removable backing. Furthermore, the base, through a second side of the base, is attached to a first non-conductive element, which is further coupled to a second non-conductive element. Each of the non-conductive elements attenuates interfering signals that originate from the human body and therefore, enables the detection of signals transmitted by the patient tracking system. For example, in view of the reduced interference signals, a RF signal transmitted by the patient tracking system can be detected at remote distances.
