Abstract

The paper describes the ITC-irst approach for handling spoken dialogue interactions over the telephone. In particular, we have used the technology to develop a telemedicine prototype system that provides health-care to chronic patients. First, the system architecture will be summarized, then we will describe an automatic service for home monitoring of patients affected by hypertension pathology. Patients must periodically introduce data into a database containing their personal medical records. The collected data are managed, according to well established medical guidelines, by a software agent connected to a relational database, which contains the detailed history of each patient.
