Agent-based Systems in Healthcare

This Special Issue is dedicated to discussing which are the advantages, challenges and open issues in the application of the agent-based approach as a part of the digital transformation in the healthcare sector. Agent-based technology in healthcare optimises resource allocation and coordination and supports clinical decision-making. Challenges such as model reliability and interdisciplinary collaboration must be addressed for widespread adoption. Embracing this technology promises improved healthcare delivery and better patient outcomes. Six papers, out of the many submitted, have been accepted for publication, each one discussing an aspect of this broad field.
