Abstract

This paper describes a healthcare support system based on multi-agent. This system provides wellness advice and information regarding health condition effectively and in user-oriented manner. Our system utilizes knowledge about healthcare and various information including vital sign, physical location, and video data of a user under observation from real space as a means to provide advanced healthcare support services. We propose an agent-based framework for user-oriented healthcare support system based on concept of symbiotic computing. In this paper, we describe the concept and design of the system with multi-agent-based framework and also present the prototype implementation.
