Collaborative group support in e-Health
In critical areas such as decision making, the Collaborative
Work has an uttermost importance. Being a complex
problem, the collective decision taking is currently a popular form
of taking decisions. In this work we present the VirtualECare
project: an intelligent multi-agent system able to monitor, interact
and serve its customers (in need of care services). In developed
countries, recent census data report a sudden increase in the
elderly community together with a decrease of child birth.
This is a new reality that needs to be dealt by the health
sector, particularly by the public one. In an early stage, this
new situation appears mostly as a financial problem. The costs
involved in the health care are considerable. Thus, alternative
technological solutions that lead to straightforward solutions
should be adopted. Recently, a growing interest in combining the
advances in information society - computing, telecommunications
and presentation - to create Group Decision Support Systems
(GDSS), has been observed. It is our view that the use of the
GDSS in the health care area will pursue the achievement of
better results in terms of patients Electronically Clinical Profile
(ECP). Additionally, we believe that the best way of managing
health appointments is through the use of calendars - one
application that can manage both the physicians and patients
calendars and consequently their day schedule. Within this area,
the approaches used in the VirtualECare and iGenda projects
are presented.(undefined
