Sistema físico cibernético multiagente para monitoramento remoto de pacientes.

Abstract

According to IBGE in 2013 13% of the population had 60 or more years old. As the national population ages, we have to move towards more efficient use of SUS. A way to improve is the closer followup of patient’s evolution by the healthcare professional. At the hospital the patient has access to a set of equipments and expert knowledge capable to correct the treatment path. From this scenario it is easy to imply the need for a change, the current status quo is unbearable financially and cumbersome for patient and doctor routines. A resource that helps is the remote patient monitoring (RPM) , where sensors provide the latest information about patient’s health status and are able to suggest a course correction on the treatment path. A Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is a network of interacting computational entities with physical inputs and outputs that work together towards a goal. A CPS can be part of a RPM in order to present and adjust the treatment according to the healthcare professional recommendations. This work offers a framework for situations where the medical expert knowledge is complete allowing changes on the treatment path be adjusted with minimum risk. Our proposal to deal with the problem is a CPS based remote patient monitoring network where a model for the system is developed based on Multiagent Agent System (MAS) and automatic planning system based on SAT, allowing safe and minimal course correction on treatment paths already set for a patient. This proposal operates through a central hub element responsible to coordinate the followup of the patient.
