Abstract :
Ubiquity has been a key element to modern medical diagnosis system to improve medical service´s efficiency and convenience on both medical personals and patients´ sides. Mobile agents and peer-to-peer technologies make this anticipation possible. This paper proposes a framework to ubiquitously share patient medical information among geographically distributed healthcare providers. The proposed approach is based on ontologies, mobile agents and peer-to-peer technology for bringing together autonomous heterogeneous and highly distributed health care facilities.
