An Agent Based Pervasive Healthcare System: A First Scalability Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) occurs during pregnancy due to an increased resistance to insulin caused by the growth of the baby. It appears after the 24th week of pregnancy and it is treated with diet counselling and insulin treatment. In this paper we present the complete implementation of a Pervasive Healthcare System (PHS) based on intelligent agents to support continuous monitoring of pregnant women affected by GDM. Our infrastructure is composed of a mobile interface connecting to a distributed multi-agent system which in turns is connected to a patient management system. This stores the data produced during the monitoring phase and present them to the doctors in charge of the patient. Our system’s scalability is then evaluated to show the strong and weak points of our approach.

متن کاملA Multi-agent System for Pervasive Healthcare
Wireless technology based pervasive healthcare has been proposed in many applications such as disease management and accident prevention for cost saving and promoting citizen’s wellbeing. However, the emphasis so far is on the artefacts with limited attentions to guiding the development of an effective and efficient solution for pervasive healthcare. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a fram...

متن کاملLoad-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System
Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...
