In this paper we present MeSSyCo, a multi-agent system that integrates and coordinates heterogeneous medical services. Agents in MeSSyCo may perform different tasks such as diagnosis, clinical laboratory analysis, data retrieving and so on. This agent system mainly provide a coordination infrastructure based on a combination of abductive and probabilistic reasoning. In this way a set of specialized medical service providers could be aggregated into an agent system able to perform more complex medical tasks. In the paper we will show the potential of MeSSyCo by means of some concrete examples.
