Multi-agent systems are one of the most exciting research areas in ArtificialIntelligence. In the last ten years there has been a growing interest in the application of agent-based systems in health care. Moreover, a growing European community of researchers interested in the application of intelligent agentsin health care emerged as a result of the activities within the AgentCities.NET European network and the AgentLink III Technical Forum Group on Healthcare Applications of Intelligent Agents. And specially in R and D projects funded during the FP6. Thus, this book reports on the results achieved in this area, discuss the benefits (and drawbacks) that agent-based systems may bring to medical domains and society, and also to provide a list of the research topics that should be tackled in the near future to make the deployment of health-care agent-based systems a reality. Presents results achieved in Healthcare Applications of Intelligent Agents INDICE: HealthAgents - Agent-based Distributed Decision Support System forBrain Tumour Diagnosis and Prognosis.- SAPHIRE: A Multi-Agent System for Remote Healthcare Monitoring through Computerized Clinical Guidelines.- K4CARE: Knowledge-Based HomeCare eServices for an Ageing Europe.- ASPIC: Argumentation Service Platform with Integrated Components.- Applying Provenance in Distributed Organ Transplant Management.- Supported Human Autonomy for Recovery and Enhancement of cognitive and motor disabilities using Agent technologies.
