Abstract
On government level, Denmark has published both strategies and technical guidelines to strengthen implementation and use of telehealth in the Danish healthcare sector in the future. Consequently telehealth solutions will become an integrated part of the daily life of the patients equipped with these solutions. This paper proposes an architecture for a multi-agent system to be implemented together with the telehealth solution in a patient’s home. The purpose of the multi-agent system is to incorporate more intelligence into the gathering of healthcare related data and thereby learn about the behavior and level of physical activity of the patient, and other interesting context information.
