“…Also proper investment in the purchase, design, implementation, maintenance and updating of information systems is necessary (Lucas, 2008;Cripps et al, 2011). In developing and implementation of cancer care management based on mobile devices, planning for items such as costs of system implementation and maintenance should be considered (Khoumbati et al, 2009).…”

“…Because of potential capabilities of agent technology like mobility [44], autonomy, interoperability, scalability and re-configurability, integrating disparate systems, improving distributed data and resources management, handling the complexity of solutions, modeling and organizing the interrelationships between components [31][32][33][34][35][36][46][47][48][49][50][51], is very valuable tool for telemedicine and telecare.…”

Chronic diseases impose heavy burden and costs on the health industry in many countries. Suitable health procedures, management, and prevention of disease by continuous monitoring through modern technologies can lead to a decrease in health costs and improve people empowerment. Applying remote medical diagnosis and monitoring system based on mobile health systems can help significantly reduce health care costs and correct performance management particularly in chronic disease management. In this chapter, mHealth opportunities in patient monitoring with the introduction of various systems specifically in chronic disease are expressed. Also mHealth challenges in patient monitoring in general and specific aspects are identified. Some of the general challenges include threats to confidentiality and privacy, and lack of information communication technology (ICT), and mobile infrastructure. In specific aspect, some difficulties include lack of system interoperability with electronic health records and other IT tools, decrease in face-to-face communication between doctor and patient, ill-functioning of system that leads to medical errors and negative effects on care outcomes, patients, and personnel, and factors related to the telecommunication industry include reliability and sudden interruptions of telecommunication networks.

“…Organizational challenges like organizational culture and the support of high level management; human challenges like lack of trained and skilled personnel at health care centers in this field (Khoumbati et al, 2010), user attitudes, technology acceptance (Venkatesh et al, 2012;Cresswell et al, 2013) user characteristics like age, economic, social and educational status (Hardiker et al, 2011), threats to confidentiality and privacy, legal, ethical and administrative barriers, cost of system implementation and maintenance (Khoumbati et al, 2010), sufficient investment (Lucas, 2008), poor design and implementation, lack of system interoperability with electronic health records and other IT tools (Lawler et al, 2011), decrease in face to face communication between doctor and patient (Lluch, 2011), failure to meet targets (Lucas, 2008), virtual information control (While, 2011), ill-functioning of system that leads to medical errors and negative effects on care outcomes, patients and personnel (Nykänen et al, 2011), defining proper strategy to select best actions (Alonso et al, 2003), technological barriers such as lack of ICT infrastructure (Cripps et al, 2011) ,developing flexible, extensible and open architecture platform, knowledge management based on MAS to ensure knowledge currency (Bhat et al, 2010); design challenges such as robustness, efficiency, and communication challenges in cooperation between agents (Kostiadis et al, 2000), applying appropriate ontology e.g. GALEN, UMLS, SNOMED in order to facilitate and accelerate retrieval and integration of health information and effective communication in systems based on agent technology (Volot et al, 1997;Safdari et al, 2009;OpenGALEN, 2013), and standards for data exchange between MAS and related tools .…”

Physicians, in order to study the causes of cancer, detect cancer earlier, prevent or determine the effectiveness of treatment, and specify the reasons for the treatment ineffectiveness, need to access accurate, comprehensive, and timely cancer data. The cancer care environment has become more complex because of the need for coordination and communication among health care professionals with different skills in a variety of roles and the existence of large amounts of data with various formats. The goals of health care systems in such a complex environment are correct health data management, providing appropriate information needs of users to enhance the integrity and quality of health care, timely access to accurate information and reducing medical errors. These roles in new systems with use of agents efficiently perform well. Because of the potential capability of agent systems to solve complex and dynamic health problems, health care system, in order to gain full advantage of E-health, steps must be taken to make use of this technology. Multi-agent systems have effective roles in health service quality improvement especially in telemedicine, emergency situations and management of chronic diseases such as cancer. In the design and implementation of agent based systems, planning items such as information confidentiality and privacy, architecture, communication standards, ethical and legal aspects, identification opportunities and barriers should be considered. It should be noted that usage of agent systems only with a technical view is associated with many problems such as lack of user acceptance. The aim of this commentary is to survey applications, opportunities and barriers of this new artificial intelligence tool for cancer care information as an approach to improve cancer care management.
