provides the user with a set of medical services. The user may request information about medical centres/doctors/departments of a city, may look up his/her medical record, or even may book a visit to be examined by a doctor. At the examination’s scheduled time, the doctor agent receives automatically the patient’s medical record and can update it with the results of the visit. Several other applications based on JADE applied for and were demonstrated at the same event. [Antonio Moreno Ribas]
