Abstract

Healthcare information systems (HIS) have become an important area of research due to ever-increasing healthcare costs to the national economy. Many recent technological developments such as mobile technology and cloud computing have profoundly affected the current state of HIS and further facilitated the developments of ubiquitous computing and ubiquitous learning systems (ULS). The authors propose a multi-agent system for ubiquitous learning (MASUL) to facilitate various learning tasks. They use JADE (Java agent development framework) for developing the multi-agent system. MASUL provides a series of functionalities that can be used by the patients and clinicians. The system simplifies the mechanisms to access learning information via mobile devices, and it also facilitates the learning-teaching process centered on the physical surroundings of the user.
