Descrição

Springer - Series Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing, vol. 72 In recent years there has been a growing interest in developing Ambient Intelligence based systems in order to create smart environments for user and environmental monitoring. In fact, higher-level monitoring systems with vital information about the user and the environment around him/her represents an improvement of the quality of care provided. In this paper, we propose an architecture that implements a multi-agent user-profile based system for patient monitoring aimed to improve the assistance and health care provided. This system mixes logical based reasoning mechanisms with context-aware technologies. It is also presented a case based on a scenario developed at a major Portuguese healthcare institution.
