The use of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in health-care domains is increasing. Such Agent-mediated Medical Systems are designed to manage complex tasks and have the potential to adapt gracefully to unexpected events. However, in this kind of system issues of privacy, security and trust are particularly sensitive and real deployment of Agent technologies in such domains must meet high standards in each of these areas. This paper outlines a existing prototype Agent—Based application in the Organ and Tissue transplant domain and outlines some of the challenges in the area of security which have been identified in moving it from prototype to real usage
