Abstract
This paper presents an autonomous intelligent agent with a human thinking reasoning model, based on past experiences. The agent is developed to assist medical staff in geriatric residences. The health care process is a vital function, requiring nature-inspired solutions imitating the residence staff behaviours. An autonomous deliberative Case-Based Planner agent, AGALZ (Autonomous aGent for monitoring ALZheimer patients), is developed and integrated into an environment-aware multi-agent system, named ALZ-MAS (ALZheimer Multi-Agent System), to optimize health care in geriatric residences. ALZ-MAS is capable of obtaining information about the environment through RFID technology.
