Abstract

The paper extracts proven principles from software engineering to be applied in the field of prevention and wellness preserving. For instance, the concern-oriented partitioning principle could support the analysis and design of healthcare information systems. Results of such an approach are multifaceted systems that integrate all stakeholders’ concerns. For such a system, the paper proposes a multi-agent system, where a patient avatar negotiates with expert systems assisting the user to monitor his health state and supply proven prevention alternatives. The aggregated patient-centered virtual organization also aims at stimulating the patient empowerment through personalized information based on their conditions.
