Abstract :
We propose a multi-agent-based healthcare support system in ubiquitous computing environment. By utilizing knowledge about healthcare and various information including vital sign, physical location, and video data of a user under observation from real space, the system provides useful information regarding health condition effectively and in user-oriented manner. This paper describes a user-oriented healthcare support system based on concept of symbiotic computing, focusing on design and initial prototype implementation of the system.
