Multi-agents based wireless sensor telemedicine network for e-health monitoring of HIV Aids patients

Abstract

This paper presents a design of a multi agent wireless sensor based network for health monitoring of HIV AIDS Patients, to address Poor monitoring program that is in the Care and monitoring of HIV infected people coupled by the few numbers of Specialists in Diseases related to HIV AIDS. Our approach is to use Multi-Agent and Wireless Sensor Technologies where the sensors collects, stores and analyze vital signs of the Patient. Signs such as body temperature, blood pressure, respiratory rate, viral load are monitored. The Multi Agent System acts as a manager to the sensors; the agent work is to collect and stores sensor information in a centralized database. The proposed Multi Agent System shall consists of four agents namely a Specialist Agent, Patient Agent, Local agent and Data agent the proposed multi agent based system shall be implemented using Java language in JADE environment. This research proposes a Prototype system in addition to use of agent technologies and Wireless Sensors as a Tool in monitoring of HIVAIDS.
