VIII Workshop on Agents Applied in Health Care

Topics of the workshop A2HC 2013

• - Co-operation between intelligent agents to improve patient management (e.g., distributed patient scheduling).
• - Agents that provide remote or elderly care delivery.
• - Agents that provide information about medical services.
• - Multi-agent systems for patient monitoring and diagnosis.
• - Successful applications of agents and multi-agent systems in health care.
• - MAS that improve medical training or education (e.g. tutoring systems).
• - Medical agent-based decision support systems.
• - Information agents that gather, compile and organise medical knowledge available on Internet.
• - Legal and ethical issues related to the use of agents in health care.
• - Surveys providing an up to date view of the state of the art in the area of agents in health care.
• - Solutions to the basic methodological and technological problems associated to the real deployment of health-care agent-based systems:
•   -Security, privacy of medical data.
•   -Social acceptance of agent-based systems.
•   -Integration and use of medical ontologies.
•   -Lack of centralised control.
•   -Communication standards.
•   -Integration with other types of software.

The workshop may be of interest to computer scientists applying agents in the healthcare field, and also for those looking for real application domains where their basic research can be deployed and for those looking for unsolved problems in the healthcare area that may be addressed using agent technology.
