摘要

電子醫療看護是具有高分散性、高勞力密集、高行動性、高時效性，也是一種需同時使用多種儀器的作業環境。近年來，電子醫療看護所使用的資訊系統已由傳統的桌上型作業平台逐步演進到行動無線作業平台。若能將目前行動運算的新興發展技術與已普及化的代理人技術，例如智慧型代理人及行動代理人互相結合，對未來的醫療看護系統將產生徹底的影響。
在本研究中，我們提出一個分散式行動多重代理人為基之自主醫療看護平台的設計和開發概念，以支援醫療看護資訊傳遞密集且分散的操作環境，此平台之設計將以院方使用者之需求及使用時之情境為依據。此外，為了節省資訊平台開發的時間，我們將以Aglet作為概念檢驗以及評估採用之標準，藉由此系統與可攜式的輕型生理監視器兩者的整合，即可以在不會干擾及限制病患日常活動的情況下施行連續性的長期看護。

E-health care is characterized by a high degree of distributed, labor-intensive works, mobility, time-critical, and access from various types of devices. The information systems for e-health care have evolved from traditional desktop “telemedicine” platforms to wireless and mobile configurations. Current and emerging developments in mobile computing integrated with developments in pervasive agent technologies such as intelligent agents and mobile agents will have a radical impact on future health-care delivery systems.
In this research, we present the design and development of a mobile multi-agent based, information platform (MADIP) to support the intensive and distributed nature of health care environment. The design is based on on-site observation of user needs and the identification of scenarios of use in a hospital. To facilitate the development of the information platform, Aglets Software Development Kit (ASDK) was adopted for prototyping, concept-proofing, and evaluation. By integrating the proposed system with light-weight, portable monitoring devices (e.g. vital sign monitor), continuous long-term monitoring can be performed without interfering with patients’ everyday activities and without restricting their mobility.
