A first step towards providing health-care agent-based services to mobile users

Published:15 July 2002Publication History

ABSTRACT

The aim of the Agent Cities project is to build agent-based information services for mobile users. In the framework of this project it is interesting to consider the possibility of deploying agents that provide Health Care-related services. In this paper we report the design and construction of a multi-agent system (MAS) that is composed of agents that provide medical services. The MAS contains agents that allow the user to search for medical centres satisfying a given set of requirements, to access his/her medical record or to make a booking to be visited by a particular kind of doctor.
