ABSTRACT
Due to diversity, heterogeneity and complexity of the
existing healthcare structure, providing suitable healthcare services is a
complicated process. This work describes the conceptual design of an
e-healthcare system, which implements integration strategies and suitable
technologies that will handle the interoperability problem among its essential
components. The proposed solution combines intelligent agent technology and
case based reasoning for highly distributed applications in healthcare
environment. Intelligent agents play a critical role in providing correct
information for diagnostic, treatment, etc. They work on behalf of human agents
taking care of routine tasks, thus increasing speed and reliability of the
information exchanges. CBR is used to generate advices to a certain
e-healthcare problems by analyzing solutions given to previously solved
problems and to build intelligent systems for disease diagnostics and
prognosis. Preliminary experimental simulation based on Agent Development
Framework (JADE) demonstrated the feasibility of this model.
