Abstract

Healthcare is information driven and knowledge driven. Good healthcare depends on making decisions at the right time and place, using the right patient data and applicable knowledge. Communication is of utmost relevance in today´s healthcare settings, in that delivery of care, research, and management all depend on sharing information. The proposed system can securely gather, integrate, and display distributed medical information using mobile-agent technology and agent-driven security
