Antonio Moreno, Aı̈da Valls, David Isern, David Sánchez · Birkhäuser Basel eBooks · 2003
In this paper we describe an application called GruSMA1 which is an agent-based system that provides medical services to its users (the citizens or the visitors of a city). This multi-agent system contains agents that have information about the medical centres, departments and doctors of the city. All these agents coordinate their tasks to provide a set of services to the user of the system, who can search for medical centres satisfying a given set of requirements, as well as access his/her medical record, or make a booking to be visited by a particular kind of doctor. Special care has been paid to the definition of a medical ontology and to the implementation of mechanisms that guarantee the confidentiality in the access and transmission of medical data
