Abstract

This paper presents an advanced healthcare support system in ubiquitous computing environment. By utilizing knowledge about healthcare and various information including vital sign, physical location, and video data of a user under observation from real space, the system provides useful information regarding health condition effectively and in user-oriented manner. In this paper, we describe a user-oriented healthcare support system focusing on design and implementation of the system with multi-agent technology.
