JADE implemented mobile multi-agent based, distributed information platform for pervasive health care monitoring

Abstract

In this paper we aim to implement a highly distributed information infrastructure - MADIP by using Intelligent Agent paradigm, which is able to notify the responsible care-provider of abnormality automatically, offer distance medical advice, and perform continuous health monitoring for those who need it. To confront the issues of interoperability, scalability, and openness in heterogeneous e-health environments, a FIPA2000 standard compliant agent development platform - JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment Framework) was adopted for the design and implementation of the proposed intelligent multi-agent based MADIP system. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
