How to leverage intelligent agents and complex event processing to improve patient monitoring

Abstract

This paper describes an intelligent ecosystem that can continuously monitor patients’ health conditions, whether at home, at work or during recreational activities, by leveraging a creative blend of wearable medical devices, intelligent agents (IA) and complex event processing (CEP). With the help of a smart application, linking wearable devices and the power of IA and CEP, patients will be constantly and actively supervised during their daily activities. This can even save their lives in case they experience sudden or gradual problems. Thanks to our system, patients with chronic illnesses that are not serious but potentially unstable will no longer overburden first aid services. This is also helpful in containing the spread of COVID-19. Specifically, in this paper, we focus on automatic monitoring of vital parameters, electrocardiogram analysis and psoriasis detection. Experimental results conducted on real patients show how promising our approach is.

An intelligent telemonitoring application for coronavirus patients: reCOVeryaID

“…In addition, their system can be used as a sophisticated IOTequipped real-time patient monitoring system to track the patient's vital signs, such as body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. Then, To sum up, another strength of the reCOVeryaID prototype is that it is flexible and general enough that it can also be integrated with other systems dealing with different diseases; in fact, it could be integrated with Italian clinical notes (D'Auria et al, 2023), telemonitoring systems based on intelligent agents and complex event processing (Persia et al, 2021;De Lauretis et al, 2023), and a multi-agent based system for epilepsy detection and prediction in neuropediatrics (Bertoncelli et al, 2023).…”
