Swarm intelligence and multi agent system in healthcare

The domain of Healthcare is characterized by difficulty, dynamism and variety. In the 21st century healthcare represents different challenges (the increasing cost of care and the growing of populations). For that, Agent Technology can provide better healthcare than the traditional medical system. In the hospital, several types of medical problems can be solved by agents. As examples of problems, which emerge in the hospital, we mention: collaboration between hospital wards, elaborations of diagnostics, the collection of information about patients etc. The adaptation of cooperative Multi Agent System (MAS) can solve these problems. In this regard, this study proposes a general architecture that integrates Swarm Intelligence into Multi Agent healthcare System in order to make care as efficient as possible.
