Abstract
The advancements in healthcare practice have brought to the fore the need for flexible access to health-related information and created an ever-growing demand for the design, development and management of personalized knowledge spaces. In this paper, we present a web-based platform that generates a Personal eHealth Knowledge Space as an aggregation of several knowledge sources relevant for the provision of individualized personal services. To this end, novel technologies are exploited, such as knowledge on demand to lower the information overload for the end-users, agent-based communication and reasoning to support cooperation and decision making, and semantic integration to provide uniform access to heterogeneous information. All three different technologies are combined to create a novel web-based platform allowing seamless user interaction through a portal that supports personalized, granular and secure access to relevant information.
