7.1 Introduction

Researchers all over the world are working in either multi agents or in

ontologies for developing system in health care domain. Several

traditional systems also exist in health care domain but they have

many limitations. These limitations had motivated to carry out

research in this domain using multi agent and ontologies. So as a part

of the research work entitled ―A Methodical Approach for

Communication & Co-operation between agents using ontology for

Healthcare‖, a model for hospital activities using multi agents and

ontologies has been developed.

7.2 Conclusion

The whole systems activities are divided into three major parts like

patients, doctors, and admin. Each one has their own role to perform

and system respond accordingly. Several agents have been created

using web services and inter agent communication is done. Ontologies

in form of xml are used for storing information. Different ontologies

have been created for different purpose. For implementing the system

.Net technologies like ASP.Net, C#, jQuery, Ajax, CSS are used.

Current Dialog patient conversation and News part are dynamic and it

is a part of Content Management System (CMS). Some parts used

CMS concept and works exactly like them. In CMS also xml files are

used for managing the states and information. In this system ontology

plays similar role.

The system comprise of following features.

Management of Doctors

Management of Patients

Management of Schedules of Doctor

Management of Patients Appointments

Management of Patient – Doctor Dialogs

Services supported by hospitals

Managing Reports

Feedbacks Management

Inquiry Management

Specialty Management

Searching Information

Managing useful information in form of News

Management of Patient‘s previous visit and its information

7.3 Benefits of Research

Automization of several work in hospital

Efficient Data Management

Easy Data Retrieval

Automatically Reminder of Schedules

It provides features which are not supported by traditional

system

Inter agent communication has been established

Developed ontology for healthcare can be published or further

extended for other researchers

Agents can be modified individually and it can be updated at

single location, so that other agents or applications that are

using the agent get updated values. This reduces the overhead

of updating the agent details all the places.

By combining both the technologies several complex situations

can be handled easily and efficiently

User friendly Graphical User Interface

Multi User and Multi Session application

Algorithms are configurable depending on the requirement

7.4 Future Scope

There are also few features which can be integrated with this system

to make it more flexible. Below list shows the future points to be

consider.

Directly getting the images for CT Scan or X-Rays from

connected device

Mapped with Insurance Companies for claim processing

Billing of patients

Blood Bank Information Management

Producing ECG using connected device

Video Conferencing facility for remote areas for treatments

Hangout for different doctors and patients at different locations
