an antenna portion configured to transmit the message;
a data collection engine (DCE) communicating with the at least one of the first RFID chip and the second RFID chip, wherein the DCE comprises;
a power transmission subsystem including a power source and an antenna arranged to wirelessly transmit power from the power source to the first RFID chip;
a transceiver configured to receive the message from at least one of the first RFID chip and the second RFID chip;
a controller operatively coupled to the transceiver; and
one or more memory sources operatively coupled to the controller, the one or more memory sources including instructions for configuring the controller to generate one or more messages indicative of the identification information and the plurality of sensed values to be sent by the transceiver to a server device via a network connection,wherein the first RFID chip includes an antenna for wirelessly receiving the power from the transceiver of the DCE;
wherein the server device comprises;
a transceiver configured to receive the one or more messages from the DCE;
a controller operatively coupled to the transceiver; and
one or more memory sources operatively coupled to the controller, the one or more memory sources storing;
a first database including a plurality of operating table risk states, operating table attributes,a trained neural network model (NNM) for generating an output value based upon the plurality of sensed values; and
instructions for configuring the controller to determine whether the output value corresponds with one or more of the operating table attributes associated with one or more of the operating table risk states in the first database.

Abstract
A system includes a plurality of RFID chips affixed to a medical item, a data collection engine device, and a server device. The data collection engine wirelessly transmits power to a first one of the RFID chips and receives first medical data from the first RFID chip while the first RFID chip is activated by the power receiver. The data collection engine generates a first message indicative of the first medical data to be sent to the server device. The server device can determine aspects of the medical item such as position and risk states based upon the first medical data.
