Abstract :
In this document, we propose a health care system which could allow physicians to monitor their patients´ leg muscle activity in real time while the patient is at home. Patients receive prompt advice and necessary information from a tutoring agent (a computer program on a home computer or mobile device) that is in direct communication with a physician who monitors the patients and helps them better handle their current condition, prior to paramedic arrival. With this system, physicians can monitor their patients´ leg muscle activity in real time, thus reducing patient load in emergency rooms.
